Take a look at this and share your thought (personally I found that RC gliding during 30+ degrees outdoor is a disaster, lift is real poor). You may also take a look at this video, which explains air density and flight: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=11kBN75Ty2s

When will you need to have fans for the motor and the ESC?
