Hi Tom,

I’ll have to look into that. It takes me a half hour to drive to the airport so it is problematic driving to the airport a day early to plug in my airplane. Thanks for sharing your solution.

Best,

We have a Remote Control Starter (RCS) from Aerotherm. It allows us to remotely turn on the Tanis heaters on our Seneca. It operates via mobile SIM card. So you basically call the assigned phone number or text it a command to turn on the unit. Saves a trip to the airport the night before.

Hi Kent,

You need wings and a prop on that bike! 🙂

300MPH. gota love that! Yes winter flying is fun. My friend from Waukesha WI has taken me up in the early crisp mornings and we had beautiful scenery and smooth as glass flying.

I love winter flying. The air is smooth, the sky is blue, tailwinds can be incredible! I once broke 300 mph in the winter. My airplane climbs faster and cruises faster, too. But preparing for a winter flight is definitely challenging. Last month I installed my oil cooler winterization plates and hot plate (heated windshield). Tomorrow I’m going to go out to the airport and prepare for a flight the next day. That means plugging in the engine oil pan heaters and the battery heater. I’ll cover both engines on my Seneca with Army blankets that my Dad brought home from WWII. Then I’ll show up the next day and the plane will start right up. But it’s still a hastle driving to the airport a day early or at least several hours early to get the plane warm enough to start. What are other Northern-clime Piper owners doing?
