Heat

[Dorsal]

For those who have asked about the effectiveness of the standard KF heater (the one that works of the coolant lines). We flew today with OATs of 0deg f, heater took the chill off but definitely needed jackets. I have a cloth barrier to the back which keeps the cold air off my neck. With a basic winter jacket and thin driving gloves I could have flown all day.
Beautiful flying today, my son got some nice pics of a fox crossing a snow covered lake, stopped by and met CainBird (nice hangar he built himself). All in all a good day.

Nice pic Dorsal, I assume your boy snapped it. Where was this taken?

That looks like a "COOL" Picture from a Fox of a Fox! It's been cold hear in North Texas, but not that cold!

Cain, that was on Wachusett reservoir

Paul, -10 outside this morning, did you get your carbs cleaned? are you back in the air?

fantastic picture. Are you sure it is a fox? Looks like a coyote to me and seldom do you see a fox out in the open. Just wondering.
We made it up to 0 C with no wind yesterday so got out for an hour. Have been thinking about the heater idea. thanks for the product review

We had 19 which is cold enough for me! I took the Carbs off, and if there was an opening, port, whatever, I sprayed Carb Cleaner in it, until it came running back out! I rotated it around and then poor out any in the bowl etc., and then did it again. Saturday, I put the carbs and intakes back on the engine, and Today, I mechanically sync'ed the carbs. It fired right up. It runs much better! Next Saturday, I'll sync them and then I can put it back together after the Annual, and then go flying!
