...getting it started. v/r,dr
Me and two of my boys went to our favorite city/airport Sky Harbor in Duluth, MN (KDYT).
Duluth puts on a special Christmas light attraction, Bentlyville. Great flight and the boys loved the lights and meeting santa! We got there had dinner, visited the show, and flew home in a little less time than just the roud trip drive would have taken, love our little time machine!
We would be interested in seeing how three people fit in a 7!

I knew I should have finished these before I started flying because it is too much fun flying to work on the plane! I’m getting closer - they are fit and other than needing about 5 hours of filling, 5 hours of sanding, and then finding some above freezing place to paint, I’m almost done!
I did fly with them today and found myself going about 10 knots faster when I turned down wind than normal after takeoff. Maybe it was the wind pushing me along but I’m going to say it is the gear fairings!
I included a couple pictures of my engine heater. If I leave it on all night, my oil is over 90 degrees by morning at 15 degrees outside temp. Very easy to set up and the heater was $12 from the big A.
Nice formation Mark.
Unfortunately not enough in Melbourne to get that many RV’s together.
There weren't enough in Sydney to get that many RVs together two years ago either.
This is the result of a small group of us getting formation training, then spending the subsequent five years evangelising about how much fun it is.
Now we have builders who haven't even finished their projects yet looking forward to joining in.
It's an absolute blast, and we all have big plans for our 13-ship.

Hey Rocky,
I am not much of a cold weather guy but play a lot with heat transfer.
You could do a lot better heating the cowl/engine if you pulled the already warmed air out of the other side rather than having to heat 15 degree air to start with. Maybe a tube from the other side to another plenum at the heater inlet. Assuming there is a thermostat on the heater.
