Remote power control

A pager's monthly fee would be much cheaper than a cell phone.

Last month in "GA News" there was a brief mention of a system that
allowed
you to turn on a power plug by calling a pager or cell phone.

Really? Here in the UK you can get a cellphone on a
pay-as-you-go basis. As long as you're in credit, you can
receive incoming calls, SMSs, whatever (remember in
the UK you don't pay for incoming calls either).

Some schemes say you have to top up every x months, so
you might have to stick a fiver (£5) on every 3 months.
Then maybe make £4.90 worth of calls to get your value
for money from it! :-)

The weather we've had in Rochester the last couple of weeks, the bit about
flying once a week is another problem.

I haven't even *seen* my plane in two months. They look so forlorn when they're
covered in ice. :-(

Great discoveries are not announced with "Eureka!". What's usually said is
"Hummmmm... That's interesting...."

Paul,
if you handy with electricity go to your local Electrical or heating and
AC supply house. Buy a temperature controlled switch/contactor. They can
go from $30-100 dollars.
I bought one that is double throw and can turn on when the temp falls or
rises. It is used in the heating/AC industry to switch between Heat and AC.

Michelle;

I respectfully suggest you contact Peter Tanis

and ask him what he thinks about using a thermostat to cycle an engine
heater on and off with changes in OAT.

Paul,
Not really a good idea. Turning the heat on and off if you do not fly it
can cause condensation inside the case and accelerate corrosion. I went
from a timer on the engine heater to a temperature switch for the engine
heater.

Have you looked into the ThermoCube? It turns on when the temperature drops
below a certain threshhold. Sporty's sell it I believe.



I don't want to heat up the airplane every day if I only fly once in a
week.
