We still haven't done anything about a preheat system. What I'm thinking of now on Michelle P's suggestion is one of those oil pan heat pads (the metal ones) on a thermostat. Any better/different ideas?

We use electric oil heaters in our planes. Plug them in at night, the
plane is good to go in the morning.
