Will also trade for Yak 55. The big things are: TT 1850 Engine SMOH 893 Overhauled Mags 4/15 BPE High Compression pistons and rings 7/11 New Carbon Whirlwind prop blades 7/11 (not refurbished Russian blades) Gear up locks and actuators rebuilt 5/14 B and C alternator 7/06 PS engineering intercom 3/05 New rudder cables 1/05 (mid section) There is more, and if you are seriously interested, I'll get you the information you need. The airplane is light. Only weighs 2062 pounds. Thats on a scale, not 20 year old paperwork. That's because there is nothing in the plane that doesn't help it fly. It has a Garmin 250 GPS/COM but no attitude indicators, turn and bank or any other fluff like "switch of correction" or "sound warning panel". Yes, you have to fly the airplane without a buzzer to tell you you are about to stall or a gauge to tell you how to turn! I only have this one picture now, but will go out and take more tomorrow. Asking 47,500. I want to move this plane, and no reasonable offer will be turned down. Got to make room for the 55!

I've seen pad pasted not only to sides of the oil tank but to the oil sump as well. One can buy electric oil tank emersion heater elements. Another cheap way is infrared lamps placed under the cowl with a large blanket drape over the entire cowling to keep the heat in. When I lived in CT, I kept two 100w light bulbs under the cowling of my Pitts with a blanket draped over the cowl in the winter (Not that I flew it that much in the winter). Or you could do like a lot Alaskans do. Drain the oil in large bucket and take it home to keep it warm. Simply it pour back in the tank when you're ready to fly. I personally believe I'd look for a way to heat not just the oil but the engine it self at the same time. It not good to get cold metal to moving with all the contraction of the cold in it parts.

The kits are complete and easy to install (just be sure to thoroughly sand and clean the areas the pads adhere to). He is also a neighbor of yours based in Chetek, WI. Go tour the factory right on the airport. This warms everything gently without introducing a lot of water vapor or exhaust fumes like combustion pre-heaters and is safe to leave unattended. Add a cell-phone controlled GSM relay system , and you can start the pre-heat the night before fly so it is already warm when you get to the hangar.
