Not a good idea. Some strikes magnetize the engine components (crankshaft, bearings, etc.) causing metal in the oil to stick. Engines can be demagnetized (after disassembly), inspected, and reassembled. This is covered by insurance and should not be overlooked after a strike.

I decided to go fly again. I'll just tell y'all again, the RV-10 heater makes it real comfy in the cabin, even with OAT on the ground at 1F, and even into the way negatives at altitude. I have the standard Vetterman's exhaust with the 2 heat muffs and no coatings or anything else, and there's way more heat available than what I need. On our trip home from Florida, we spent literally HOURS with OAT's of zero, and the kids in the back would complain at times that we should turn the heat down. Also, thought I'd attach a picture of one of my favorite little projects of the fall, now that I can comment on how it's working out. This fall I wanted to prepare so my chemicals at the hangar (windshield cleaners, hand cleaners, and all that good stuff) wouldn't freeze and get ruined. I had previously used a wall mounted cabinet with foam glued to the inside, but it still stayed pretty cold. So this fall I advertized on Craigs list looking for a junk mini-fridge. I ripped out the guts, and put in an outlet trio and mounted 2 15W mini-base lamp sockets in the freezer area (so it heats that metal plate), and stuck a 15W Reptile terrarium heating pad to the floor. The heating pad was a waste, but it does warm things. Today, with OAT's that went from the -20 to +1 range, I used my Harbor Freight infared thermometer and checked the inside temp. It's over 100F on that metal plate, but about 85F on the walls inside the fridge. So, plenty of nice warm chemicals to use. I used 2 bulbs so that there would be redundancy, because one should easily keep it from freezing. So far I've burned out one bulb, so having 2 was a good idea.

If you buy a cheaper one without Mode-S, you'll only get ADS-B targets. With the 330, you can get either, via their box...assuming the G900 uses the same standard interface they use for other things.

If you want to keep options open, buy a low end Mode A/C transponder for now. BTW, there is no such thing as IFR transponder. They all have to meet a single TSO to be legal to use in aircraft. As long as you avoid certain airspace, it is still legal to fly IFR with no transponder. Might get some ATC complaints, however.

The top plate gets to about 120F but the walls about 100....which is pretty tame considering it's that hot in Arizona hangars many days. Also, I don't let anything get right up to the warm metal of the freezer where those temps are. So nothing in there gets dangerously warm as the average temp in the center may be more like 80-95 year round. A thermostat wouldn't be a bad idea but would add cost....and even then I'd keep it at 75 or so if I could....so it's not that much hotter. I also don't keep any highly dangerous things in there. It sure is nice to have nice warm liquids around though.....especially the spray waxes and hand cleaners.

It is about the best way to get Mode-S TIS right now, but you don't get the ES part unless you buy the ES upgrade for something like $1200. So in actuality, it would give you the flexibility to go ES as your "OUT" for ADS-B if you needed to, although for not much more money you could go with a UAT and feed the Wx data to an onboard device. You're right, for now you could get a low-end Mode C transponder and save some money, but if you go with a 330 you'll have TIS right now, and, the transponder won't be obsoleted by the ADS-B stuff coming forward. I know Mode S is "going away", but the timeframes are still a ways out there....and look at how VOR's, LORAN, and things like that were also supposed to be "going away". So really, what it comes down to is, if you're really trying to save every dollar you can, and you don't have any care for Mode S TIS, then go ahead and just buy a 327 or something. But, if you buy a 330, you can get Mode S TIS today, and that same box will work fine for you going forward, whether you choose a UAT or go the ES route. What I don't have a clue about is if the 327 is going to have any upgrade path to ES...and if it doesn't, it may be safer to just go the 330 route. The added cost isn't in extreme dollars. Also, just today I was watching Mode S TIS targets in the MSP area coming through the NavWorx ADS600 ADS-B receiver....it can take GTX330 Mode S Targets and output them to your device, along with outputting TIS-B targets. So with something like that, it gives some benefit to having either system. The one thing better would be active traffic, but to really get a good system that gives bearing, range, and altitude to "intruders", you're going to spend maybe 5X or 6X the price, and have to do some real good top and bottom fin antennas.

But if you don't mind, you can see the same thing the controllers see on radar, with a greater time lag, already 6 secs behind when it shows on the scope. I've flown from St Paul to EAU in a TIS equipped aircraft. IIRC it stopped supplying traffic about 50 miles east of St Paul, at outer range of MSP radar. Maybe if I were more used to it I'd want it.

As far as temp control at soggy/foggy KWVI goes, we started using electric blankets for some of our larger composite parts. Keeps 'em nice and toasty all night long, and not as nerve wracking as the infra-red heat lamps we used to use. You know, you could add a $15 thermostat to your chem locker and set it at the ideal temp. I think McMaster PN 17395K93 would do it.

After wiring the whole thing myself, and then seeing, at Osh, the great job that they do, I went ahead and ordered their harness. Now I need to pull most of my wiring out and install theirs. Without creating noise and/or other issues, is it possible to create a proper junction between their wires and mine.... specifically the wires going to both rear passengers (mic and headset). Thanks guys. Don McDonald Anyone flown with an SR22 to do a 10 vs. 22 comparison? I may tomorrow. Whose got the record for climb rate? With 2 on board last week we saw 2140fpm -------- Don A.
