yvesg Posted October 12, 2014 Report Posted October 12, 2014 It is already cold enough in Canada to need preheat before starting the engine. It was 0 degrees Celcius here this morning. I had plenty of time before my guests would arrive so I was able to test all my winter stuff. The 35000 BTU propane heater only needed 5 minutes to preheat. Yves 2 Quote
aviatoreb Posted October 12, 2014 Report Posted October 12, 2014 I envy you Yves - we had the same crisp morning here 15 mi south of the border, except in Fahrenheit. 32f. Preceding a glorious autumn day... I envy you because I was yearning to fly. But my plane is in the shop this week. Hope it was fun! Without me! :-( Quote
Piloto Posted October 13, 2014 Report Posted October 13, 2014 Preheat is free all year around here at KFXE. José 1 Quote

yvesg Posted October 13, 2014 Author Report Posted October 13, 2014 Yves, You're going to make everyone thing that Canada is cold. Down here in the south it was warm all day. Clarence The high pressure moved eastward, this changed the wind here which comes from the south-east now. This helped raise the temperature and I went earlier today for a flight and did not need to pre-heat the engine. Yves Quote
