If you live in a cold climate and fly FPV you know that the first thing to go is usually the fingers. They just don’t work well in cold weather. As a purest, I just cannot get comfortable wearing gloves, fingerless or not, and the idea of housing my hands in a plastic box just seems ridiculous to me.

So I did a little digging and found that nichrome wire makes for an excellent heating element and I decided to mod my TBS Mambo / Ethix Mambo radio to heat itself. It’s a super simple mod that anyone can do (carefully). The basics are that you can connect a 6S lipo, or less, and have a stupid simple solution to cold hands during winter flying. In my opinion, this is a must have for four season flying.

Make sure to watch the whole video through to the end to get a good understanding of what I’m doing, before attempting this yourself.

This is the second mod, the first of which is a custom paint job using the transparent shell.
