Can anyone with experience self-launching in cold winter conditions share germane experience? Any specific concerns or issues operating an air-cooled, two-stroke at, or near, freezing temps? Any experience with carb icing? Any deal-breakers? Any tips? Contemplating occasional winter flights in the Northeast, self-launching with a Rotax 505. Thanks! A squirt of campfuel or ether (quick start) greatly helps start up. JMF
