hey all, I'm wanting to do a night flight this evening. However is quite cold around 0-1'C
Would it still be OK to fly the drone, taking into consideration previous battery issues?
 
It was 14c here and I got a warning my battery was too cold to fly and wouldn't take off. So I put some hand warmers on it and around it for about 5 mins and it fly just fine.

But the battery at 0c better keep the whole bird warm then fly it won't take off if the battery temp gets below 15c

I flew weekend before last at +14F (-10c) with no problems. Copter and batteries were in the house at room temperature right before take off. Flew for 18 to 19 min each flight. Recharge and fly again.
