Is Winter Flying Safe for the Meteor 75 Pro Drone?
Hey everyone,
I want to get a meteor 75 pro with analog, but I don’t know if flying in the winter is different or bad for the drone.
where I live we get snow during the winter, and it is easily below 0C, 32F.
If anyone has personal experience with winter flying, please let me know.

thats why we get whoops though! I got my first meteor75 during winter and learned exclusively inside for the first few months. it wasn't the best, but it was doable.
its not "bad" for the drone itself, as long as you have conformal coating and keep it dry in snow. It should actually keep the boards cooler, which is better.
Batteries are a different story, they can and will get damaged if they charge/discharge when it's too hot/cold for them. You can combat this by keeping them warm, safely, before you fly and when you charge. but ultimately it doesnt matter the drone or battery, the batteries will always have a shorter life in extreme weather.
you really have to be careful with warming batteries, but there are a bunch of options out there. the biggest thing is DO NOT get the powdered hand warmers for it, those work by exposing iron dust to oxygen and creating rust/heat through an exothermic reaction, you dont want that anywhere near battery terminals.

Winter and batteries don't get along... but just as AurilFPV said, whoops fly inside too so the fun never stops!
Best wat I've found to warm a battery up is to leave it in a fireproof box next to my door with a fan on it to wick the condensation away.
