Hey, that's a great idea! I am assuming that you have a hangar since the
timer doesn't look very weather-proof. I suppose if I ever convince the
hangar next to my spot to let me pay for use of their electricity I can
always house the timer in my plastic lockbox.

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.

Paul,
Incidentally, this topic was discussed some time in the last year.
Nevertheless, is your "once a week" always on the same day (like
Saturday)? If so, getting a digital timer that lets you specify the
day of the week would probably work. That's what I do. I have the heater
turn on every Saturday morning at 3 or 4 AM, and stay on till noon. That
way, whenever I get over to the airport on Saturday, the engine is warm.
And of course, it doesn't turn the heater on the other 6 days. I guess
you could combine it with one of the thermo-cubes to allow you to specify
both a day of the week AND a temperature. Anyway, I bought this one...

and it's been working out well.
