It gets that cold and MY joints set, too ;o) We have what's called Southern Comfort for that condition. It continues to work very well on your joints even well below 50 degrees, especially the black label version.And so this post isn't considered totally useless, I've uploaded a photo of the tailwheel hold-down release that I just made, using the idea from the "Craftsman's Corner" article with a few modifications. It is not yet flight tested, but will be soon. It's at http://www.flysquirrel.net/piets/P1120002.JPG . It does not yet have the trip cord attached; probably a length of nylon "parachute cord" will run from the split ring on the release pin, up to the cockpit.Oscar Zuniga, in warm south TexasSan Antonio, TXmailto: taildrags(at)hotmail.comwebsite at http://www.flysquirrel.net_________________________________________________________________Type your favorite song.
