Spark and cold weather?

My fingers finish during the first battery

I often launch my Spark in the middle of a frozen lake. With the wind chill my fingers barely last for the duration of the battery. I usually have hand warmers in my gloves and warm them up between battery changes.

Well, we are finally getting temperatures well above 0 celcius. Yesterday when I flew my Spark it was 25C and the manual gimbal pitch control finally worked properly as soon as I launched. Also for the first time all the pano modes worked in GO4 whereas before they only worked in Litchi. So it seems like flying in cold weather affects manual gimbal pitch control and some of the quickshot modes in GO4 (kept getting a time-out error). I should note that automatic pitch and roll always worked in cold weather.

This is a relief as I thought I might need to send my Spark in for warranty repair but now I know my previous problems were due to cold temps.
