I plan to do the same on the RV-7. Up-front cost and hassle are a little greater, but after that it's just a drop cord through the oil door. I left it plugged in all the time when the average temps were in the 40s or less. Blanket over the cowl and cowl plugs too. http://bowenaero.com/mt/2004/11/preheat-installed.html Cheers, -- Larry Bowen Larry@BowenAero.com http://BowenAero.com On Sat, Jan 17, 2009 at 11:14 AM, Bill Repucci wrote: > This should have probably gone out to the SE list with temps dropping > down like they have. > > > I was hoping to get out and try this but I was kind enough to pass along > the cold I had last week to Nora so I'm watching The Boy today. > > > Bill > > > *From:* Bill Repucci [mailto:bill@repucci.com] > *Sent:* Friday, January 16, 2009 10:17 PM > > OK, I finally got motivated tonight and made an inexpensive pre-heater. > Now to test it out. > > > Scroll all the way to the bottom of this page for details and pictures: > > > http://www.repucci.com/bill/things_to_consider.html#Inexpensive%20Engine%20Pre-Heater > > > Bill > > * > > * > > ________________________________ Message 3 _____________________________________ Time: 09:29:13 AM PST US From: bill crothers Subject: Re: RVSouthEast-List: FW: Inexpensive engine pre-heater How do you plan to attach to air duct in cowl?=0A=0A=0A=0A=0A______________ __________________=0AFrom: Bill Repucci =0ATo: rvsoutheas t-list@matronics.com=0ASent: Saturday, January 17, 2009 11:14:21 AM=0ASubje ct: RVSouthEast-List: FW: Inexpensive engine pre-heater=0A=0A=0AThis should have probably gone out to the SE list with temps dropping down like they h ave.=0A-=0AI was hoping to get out and try this but I was kind enough to pass along the cold I had last week to Nora so I=A2m watching The Boy today .=0A-=0ABill=0A-=0AFrom:Bill Repucci [mailto:bill@repucci.com] =0ASent: Friday, January 16, 2009 10:17 PM=0A=0A=0AOK, I finally got motivated toni ght and made an inexpensive pre-heater.- Now to test it out.=0A-=0AScro ll all the way to the bottom of this page for details and pictures:=0Ahttp: //www.repucci.com/bill/things_to_consider.html#Inexpensive%20Engine%20Pre-H ===0A=0A=0A ________________________________ Message 4 _____________________________________ Time: 09:59:15 AM PST US From: "Bill Repucci" Subject: RE: RVSouthEast-List: FW: Inexpensive engine pre-heater Bill, I will stuff the duct up between the exhaust pipes. I had been propping the heater up on that small stepladder, which did a good job to heat the engine, not as good as what Larry has but it worked. My thinking is this will get more hot air into the cowling.

Saturday afternoon when I first turned it on, my EMS showed the oil temp was 30 degrees F. 35 minutes later, it was up to 44. That was done with the cowl plugs in place and an old flannel bed sheet over the cowling.
