What worked well for me was a thermostatic controlled heater. It was a small one, about 9" cubed. I would put it down low in the cockpit, set at 35*, cover the entire front of the plane with a couple of bed spreads. The heat was good for keeping frost out of instruments AND there was still enough going forward to keep dampness out of engine. Even at 20 below oat, this system worked for me. pete ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 12:27:47 PM PST US Subject: Re: Zenith601-List: - - Keeping "it" Warm - - From: Bruce Carlson Thanks all for your suggestions. All less expensive than a Tanis engine heater. Since my airplane is currently always hangared in the wintertime, I have built a PVC frame to cover the front cowling. Plan to cover it with wool blankets (available at Harbort Freight for $10 each) Heating this with a radiant oil filled radiator ( no open heat coils) Will send pictures and let you all know how this works.
