Hair dryer pre heat
Yes, some hair dryers can really put out a good volume. But Made in China, and plugged in and running for hours on end, doesn't give me a good feeling on longevity there.
Then there is the issue of the circuit you are plugged into. Someone else shows up and is working in the hanger, pulls your plug and forgets to put it back in.
Or you trip the circuit with your setup and arrive to a cold airplane.
Sharing a hangar for just six months would be a better option. Then when the weather warms up, put it back outside with tie downs.
But then you are back to the hangar space issues and availability again.
So yes, winter flying seem to be a PITA all the way around as was mentioned.
I didn't get a response from those using or suggesting the construction kerosene heaters. What do you do with them one you have started the plane?
Hope that someone else is at the airport and can store it inside for you until you get back from your weekend trip?
Or let is cool off for 15 minutes while you idle the plane and then put it in the back of the truck/suv?
That photo of the plane with all the snow on it is what I envision being faced with when wanting to head out for a weekend trip somewhere.
