Did a little trip last week. The heater in the L-18C is not the greatest, but wool layer both under and over the flight suit makes it possible.
The Cub has a block and oil sump heater, as well as a battery charger. Still, hand starting in -12C is a rather nippy affair
-12C at the airfield, and -20 at altitude. Had planned to fly over Rjukan and Gaustatoppen (Mountain) but the clouds canned that plan. (The area of the heavy water sabotage action of SOE fame in WW2)
Made due with a bimble via Notodden (ENNO) and did som R44 intercepting
