The last minute, that is... :-) There are some GREAT new gift selections to

something you can't live without too! And, best of all it supports your
Lists!

FYI,
I use a 100 watt rough service bulb in a trouble light under the lower cowl and
a quilt blanket on the upper cowl in the hangar here in Michigan. This morning
at 17F oat and about 30F in the hangar it was 60F for the engine.
The trick is in placing the quilt close the air inlets so there are not chimneys
for the warm air to escape. I just stuff the quilt in the holes. The light
just stays on during the winter and gets inserted from below at the cowl exit.
It starts right up. I take the quilt and some bungee cord to secure it when I
fly out for breakfast. Two hours later it still has enough heat to start right
up.
