I agree with you.I haven't flown much below +20°F, but if you start with a "warm" battery, drawing flight current (~20A) should keep the battery warm enough.
Let us know how it works for you!
I agree with you.
That is what I do when flying in zero (Celsius) temperatures: I keep the batteries warm. Then I run Solo's motors on the ground for 30-60 sec. and then fly Solo as usual. I tend to be careful and land Solo with more battery capacity left (30%). I have not noticed significantly shorter flying times.
I hope this helps.
I just got my Solo this past summer. I have not flown in temps below freezing. I'd like to fly today and the temp is not supposed to be above 33°. Has anyone had bad experiences in cold temps? Or am I good to go?
Thanks for any input
It would void your warranty just in case you crash flying in sub zero (oC) temperatures.According to 3dr instruction manual solo operating minimum temp is 32 farenhieght....technically operating below the minimum would void warranty.
I've flown the Solo in -20 F. Regularly flown it in -10 F temps.Yeah I've been flying at about 0 - 5 f, but the temperature dropped down to -19 F below, so I'm grounded for awhile.
