There is an excellent article in the Oct 2004 issue of Light Plane Maintenance. It covers the various heating systems including why you need them and how they work. The mention a box from Judith Mountain Technologies that functions like a pager and controls your preheat system remotely.

    Subject: Country music can be appropriate (was: EAA, AOPA, the YAK LIST
    and politics. Delete NOW!) --> Yak-List message posted by: Brian Lloyd <brianl@lloyd.com> You know, I really like country music. It has something to be said for almost any human condition, especially momma, trains, getting drunk, prison, rain, trucks, good ol' dogs, etc. Sometimes there is a stanza that just seems so pointedly appropriate like: "Oh Lord it's hard to be humble when you're perfect in every way. I can't wait to look in the mirror 'cause I get better lookin' each day. To know me is to love me I must be a helluva man. Oh Lord it's hard to be humble, but I'm doin' the best that I can." Let's see if I can add to Mac Davis' ideas here: I used to hang with pilots, But they just couldn't compete, With all the political opinions, That they sorely needed to see. I suppose I should start my own mail-list 'Cause I'm the way and the truth and the light, And they will all come running, 'Cause deep down they know that I'm right. (Chorus) I am an American Icon Damn torpedoes and full speed ahead! The only good middle-east raghead is one that we've made good and dead. We have the nuclear weapons what a waste that they sit there and rot I think I can find a use for 'em for a lesson that they should be taught. (Chorus) <snicker> This is just too much of target-rich environment. Brian Lloyd 6501 Red Hook Plaza brianl@lloyd.com Suite 201 +1.340.998.9447 St. Thomas, VI 00802 There is a time to laud one's country and a time to protest. A good citizen is prepared to do either as the need arises.

Yeah. I was poking fun at myself too, especially in that first stanza I wrote. Many of us have a penchant for taking ourselves too seriously when we should just be talking about and enjoying our airplanes. And if we can't laugh at ourselves what the hell good are we? Hmmm, as an equal-opportunity offender, I should probably make a point to write a stanza for each of the people on the list. You know, this reminds me of one of my favorite jokes. Q: How do you know if there is a pilot in the room? A: He'll tell you. Oh Lord it's hard to be humble When you're perfect in every way...

These clearly have terrorist potential and the Dept of Homeland Security will pounce on them sooner or later. Probably later- It took them six months after Reid's arrest to start

    Subject: Unrest on the Yak-List [PLEASE READ]
    --> Yak-List message posted by: Matt Dralle <dralle@matronics.com> While I'm not going to point fingers at anyone specifically in the public forum, there is a lot of unrest on the List right now fueled primarily by a small number of individuals. I have received an unprecedented number of complaints from members regarding the content of late. I'm asking that everyone on the List please refrain from posting controversial material that isn't directly related to aircraft. Certainly any sort of personal attacks or name calling is completely unacceptable. As the List Administrator, I am now asking nicely; I have the ability to block postings and/or posters but have rarely ever had to use that ability. I do not wish to use it now. Please help make the List an enjoyable and welcome place for all of the members.
