Europa-List: Re: Pre-heating a Rotax?

[Paul McAllister <paul.mcallister@qia.net>]

Guys,

For what its worth,  I fly my aircraft in the winter in temperatures low as
15f.  In addition to the engine heater I have a small electric blow heater
that I have connected up to domestic air-conditioning/heater thermostat
which keeps the cockpit at 50f.  The main reason is so that the gyroscopic
instruments aren't being run at very cold temperatures, but is sure is nice
to get into a warm cockpit as well.
