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! :-) Paul "Marco Leon" mleon(at)optonline.net wrote in message ...

wrote: 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 Michelle; I respectfully suggest you contact Peter Tanis http://www.tanair.com/contactus.html 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.

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. -- Michelle P ATP-ASEL, CP-AMEL, and AMT-A&P "Elisabeth" a Maule M-7-235B (no two are alike) Volunteer Pilot, Angel Flight Mid-Atlantic Volunteer Builder, Habitat for Humanity |
