Denali + Alaska Range EPIC Flight in 8K 360° (Apple Vision/VR Headset recommended)
Follow along on a beautiful day flying around Denali, Foraker, Moose's Tooth, and the surrounding Alaska Range mountains. This video is best viewed in a Apple Vision Pro, Meta Quest 3, or similar headset. I recommended sitting in a swivel chair so you can look around everywhere, and disclaimer that you may get nauseous if you're prone to airsickness!

Airplane Pre Heating - My at home and backcountry setups
มุมมอง 7K2 หลายเดือนก่อน
Airplane pre-heating is critical here in Alaska where we need to pre-heat for at least half the year....or for anyone who is winter flying and could get stuck somewhere without power/heating options. I know this video is long, but I wanted to include all the information and data I could. Curious to hear what other people use for cheap, light, and easy DIY setups? 0:52 - Insulated engine/cowling...

    Its ironic that people hate modern efi engines but then do all this. You use petrol to power the generator to make electricity to waste as heat. You could just use a petrol stove. Or just use a modern engine. What do you do in an emergency, just wait 2 hours?

    I know all you guys are going to think that this is crazy but the air service that did the flying at our remote camps in northern Canada ie minus 40 diluted the oil by feeding av gas into the oil hopper (Beavers and Otters) ran the engine till oil pressure dropped then shut it down. Did a preheat like the demo in the utube and after start up by the time the engine was up to normal temp all the gas would have evaporated. We also used same system on all our machinery. Cats ran the diesels all night only shut down for oil changes.

    I added a tannis engine block heater and two pads. My mini generator pushes it fine and it warms up the big engine quickly. Otherwise, I have a red dragon propane of which Ive never used…yet. As for engine covers…I’ve never had much faith in the big blanket types. By the numbers i haven’t seen much notable improvement. Ive always wondered why someone doesn’t design and make an INFLATIBLE one with a few layers. Lighter for sure, compact and vastly more R value than all these blanket type bulky engine covers. Thanks for sharing….and dont forget in the old days they drained the oil when they landed, put in a can, then heated it on the stove the next morning and poured it back in. Watch the OLD video “My Alaska” if you can find it

    For the ultimate cheapest setup, I know lots of people just use oil pan heaters from NAPA... I think the EZ heat ones are pretty overpriced, but maybe worth it? And there are definitely cheaper MSR-type stove options. I just like the MSR because I trust them in extreme cold...
