Reviews

Works as advertised. I placed it on top of the cylinders, put the cowl plugs in and blanket on top. Less than 24hrs later the cylinders were 67 degrees, bottom of oil filler tube was 61 degrees. Inside of hangar was 53 degrees and the airplane was cold soaked. Hassle free, no mess, safe & too easy.

Great unit, with engine plugs and a blanket over the cowling it keeps the engine at around 65* at an air temp of 15*. Quiet, safe and very easy to use.

Worked better than I ever expected. Temps dipping into 5-15F, CHT temps averaged 60F, oil 50F after 24hours of use. That was in a hangar without using a thermal blanket. I like that it doesn’t cook the engine, keeps it just warm enough similar to a spring fall night.

Q: I have a Baron 58. Does it come with one or two heaters for each motor?

This is sold as each engine. If you have a twin you will need to buy (2).

Q: How long do you plug this in and operate before needing the plane? I am hoping an hour does the job

Because the heater is thermostatically controlled, it should be plugged in at all times when the ambient temperature is below 60 degrees. To answer your question, it can take up to 48 hours to heat a cold soaked engine.
