Default Cold is Good!

20°F cold? Not here. -20°F more like it. Then the airplane
REALLY performs, but the engine never warms up. Nor does the
Wichita-designed cabin heater.


Strangely, the ones designed in Vero Beach, FL work MUCH better.

We fly in light sweaters in temps down to zero -- and really the only
reason we're not in shirtsleeves is for crash safety. That Piper
heater will melt your tennis shoes to the floor, if you're not careful!
