Ok this is so cool, figured I would share to see if it helps others.
Turn your plane engine/oil heater on from your smart phone! $23 total.
I live in Canada and my plane sits in a large hangar. There is wifi in the building. When it is cold, I drive to the airport, plug in the oil/engine heater. Give it overnight or at least a few hours and good to go. Lately i have been working alot and it seems the nice days are never when I have time, and or no time to go plug in plane.
Here is a great and cheap toy!
A few buddies got one and so today i got mine and it only took 3 minutes to hook it up...and i am not the quickest when it comes to technology.
So this to me is the perfect tool. Anytime I want to fly, from my phone I start the plane warm up. If weather changes or I get busy, turn it back off from my phone. No wasted trips to the airport.
Anyway, i know there are ones that use sim cards etc for $100 or more but for $23, great purchase.
