The IceBox is a portable air conditioning system, for your car, boat or airplane.

 

For Pilots: No more flying in a scorching hot cabin! Turn ON the IceBox during preflight and cool your cabin down before engine start. Jump in and experience a comfortable taxi and departure to a cooler altitude. Enjoy hours of IceBox cooling power and control your comfort with the Wireless Remote (Pump and Fan controls). TIP: During cruise flight, Turn OFF the water pump at altitude with the included 2x button Wireless Remote to sustain the longest A/C possible. In Cruise Flight Mode -- Keep the fan running to push cooler air through the cabin

We'll post data from the thermostat device this week, so you can see the values/time that it extends the cooling power

Love the dogs pictures, it looks like that they really enjoy it.

 

Looks a little bit cumbersome for inside a Mooney with passengers. But ideal for when working on your plane in the summer. Specially when working on avionics or interiors out of a hangar. Do you have a hose extension to bring the cool air thru the pilot's window?. Will your product cool off the whole cabin on a 90F day on the ground with the unit out of the plane?

 

How about using it when working in the attic? Heat is umbearable there in the summer. And there is more people with attics than planes.

 

Have you tried marketing this product thru Home Depot?

Hey jose, the product is being sold thu Aircraft Spruce now so the community is growing to pilots and boat guys and some using for their car AC, in old cars.

You have a winner with this on the marine market. Anyone that has worked on Caterpillar's engine rooms on boats knows how sweaty it gets there even with the engine off. Try West Marine stores. There are more boats than planes.

In this issue of AOPA Pilot (April '14) they ran a small story on the dog rescue mission I did with Pilot n Paws. The IceBox is what we use for pre-cooling the plane down for the animals, and en route A/C for the cabin, really better for them in the hot months.

Batch 3 just went out - check your emails for FedEx tracking

Way to go Phillip!

Now this month I can say I know someone in my favorite magazine!

Great idea for the PnP fliers who need the additional reasoning to get the AC.

Best regards,

Thanks A

Hey Jim, I agree. Maybe they can help move it over

We're getting some more write-ups on the dog rescue missions we fly, and how we use the IceBox to precool the plane down for the animals.

 

To support the community of pilots working on these missions together, we'll donate $15 from each order to Pilot n Paws, a fundraiser this month for a good cause. Here is their link if youd like to sign up and get involved in these flights.

Just curious. On Yoshi's winter 2,000 mile trip who paid for the fuel, ice and hotel? Are these from your own pocket or you get paid by a charitable organization?

We're getting a lot of requests for pilots who'd like to be mini-dealers at their airports/FBOs.

 

I can tell you more about how it works if you'd like to get a discount on a batch of 5x icebox.

Send over a PM if interested

p.s. For Pilot Paws - we pay for all the expenses. Its a community service.

[Donmoss]

It is great having you here, but why not move this over to the vendor forum now that we have one? It would seem to be a better fit.

Jim

Save your breath Jim. Phillip has been hinted to, requested, chided, asked respectfully, and demanded.

He simply refuses to abide by the rules, and now is continuing to push his product by acting it is a Pilots and Paws advertisement, and after your very polite request, he pretends not to know how to post on the vendor's list.

[Guest]

Please tell the moderators to delete this thread asap.

The post in on the vendors list

Have a good easter and weekend

Phillip,

Jim

Phillip,

 

I agree with Jim. I believe it would help all of us by having a great product with great customer service lead the way.

 

BTW. I got your unit yesterday (My sons did not get it on time to bring it down to Guatemala, so they had to send it to Washington where I am now). It really looks great. Now I have to convince American Airlines to allow me to send it as checked luggage... Any suggestions or experience somebody would like to share about sending a cooler as checked luggage.

Tape it shut,  tape your name and address to the outside. Business card should work.
