Thanks! I really enjoy making them. It's a creative outlet that is very different from my job.

Lycoming cold weather documentation requires preheating below 10F. With just that moving blanket over the cowl and an oil heater, the engine is 30F-45F depending on how much wind there is. But I haven't really flown it super cold. I think my coldest day was only like -5F.
