Has any one here had any experience with cold weather operations? Besides the standard winter kit is their any thing else I should know about flying this airplane during the winter. Is their a temperature/windchill cut off point which I should not be flying below? Temperature in Winnipeg today is -34c.

Continental Motors has a "Maintenance and Operator"s Manual" for the IO 360 series engines. On the booklet it say's it's Form X30617 FAA Approved January 1994. (think it came with one of my remans).
