I installed a Reiff pre-heater in a Tiger a few months ago. The
installation went fairly well.
Personally, I have no need for one. The only time I ever needed a
pre-heat, was in Twin Falls, Idaho. It was 20 degrees outside with a
wind chill of -20 degrees. It was so cold (how cold was it???), when I
unlocked the canopy, the windshield cracked. I had the engine heated
for a half hour with a heater that blew heated air into the engine
cowling.
One other time in Holbrook, Arizona, it was about 20 degrees outside. I
was able to get the engine started with judicious use of priming and
throttle. I let the engine IDLE for about 20 minutes before the oil got
warm enough to fly.
Where do you live Bruce? Does it get so cold you need a pre-heater?
Gary
