Date Posted: Thu, Jan 10 2013, 23:20:03 GMT My local strip has been too wet to fly from for quite a while. However over the next few days it looks as if the ground will freeze solid so I hope to get airborne. I ran the engine up a few weeks ago in the last cold spell to check that my tiny Motobatt MBTX4U (4.8Ah) would start the engine; it was - 3 degs C but the 582 engine started at the first attempt. As I taxied around in the freezing murk (much too murky to fly) my breath condensed and froze on the inside of the canopy. I’m just concerned that if I do get airborne I might experience the same problem, or even worse that I might get icing on the outside of the canopy – especially when descending with the airframe even colder than the low level air temperature. My aircraft has the conventional cold air vents but no cabin heat. Do any Pulsar owners have had any experiences (good or bad ) flying Pulsars in sub-zero temperatures?
