Winter, where do you live? We, here in Montreal, Quebec, Canada fly 12 months out of the year, snow or no snow. Winter is a great time to fly because the air is denser and the helis float more, also colder therefore motor, esc, batteries and the like don't heat up as fast or as much. You should try it out, if you want come to Montreal and I will invite you to our club to have fun winter outdoor flying.
