What is the best buy on an insulated engine cover. I need it for ocasional use during winter flying. My plane is generally in a heated hangar, though yesterday, at Bell Lake, I was the only one without one and the engine and oil cooled amazingly fast.
I have a Rief block heater installed for my occasional overnight on skis but just realized how little that will do if I can not keep the heat in the cowl.
Ease of installation would be a key consideration for me since my flying involves way more day trips than overnights so it will be on and off several times in a day.
In spite of our recent tropical weather, it is not uncommon to have very cold temps.
The good news is that my rear seat heater makes the back seat quite comfortable, even a zero OAT.
