Nice Larry!! That's what I want...simple and it works. Nice fuselage too!!
I still think I want to use an electric heater, but then I can't run it off my generator if the electric goes off. We don't loose power very often but where we're moving has overhead electric with trees everywhere so I can certainly see the advantage of gas. As Sky mention, when the price of propane went way up a few years back it got VERY expensive to be comfortable...wish we had natural gas.
Courier,
I spent some time yesterday looking at places I could put a solar collector. On the front of the hanger which faces South looks like the best place but it would be maybe a 100' back and down to the hydronic controls and it would loose a lot of heat on the way there even if insulated tube. How far does your water flow from the collector to the tank? What size pump and line are you using?
