My own solution has been to put some fuel tubing over the sticks - makes the cold flying much less of a problem! But powered planes in the cold is a pain, as the fuel cools your hands even further, as does the prop wash! Maybe the 'incubator' can be heated with those chemical hand warmers? The advantage with the electric system is that the heat can easily be regulated!
