More than anything else, I use my RV6 to generate smiles. But my kids have all been alpine ski racers. So now that I'm no longer ground bound, I also use it to chase my son around to various races. Obviously that means flying in cold weather. So last friday morning I loaded up the 6, pulled it out of the hanger, and fired her up. All was well, started taxing out, then felt a cold breeze on my head. Checked the latch, the vents, all good...but still a breeze on my head. So I glanced up...WHAT THE HECK!? My canopy (slider) had cracked right across the top! Ambient temp was about -25F. I've flown in sub-zero quite a bit. But maybe going from a semi-warm (+10F) hanger to -25F was just too much all at once? Maybe I need to set a minimum temp limit for RVating? I don't know for sure. But, anyway, just a word of caution and wondering if anyone else has had this happen.
Have fun and fly safe!
