I am not a pilot...yet.
What is your winter flying start up procedure for those that have no choice but the tie down their airplane outside all winter long?
So assuming one has a nice newly built, ohhh...say Sonex. No hangar space available within reasonable distance. So the plane gets tied down and sits outside all winter long.
Imagine a nice sunny weekend predicted. Temps in the single digits. Want to take a weekend trip 5 hours south.
Arrive at airport and park next to the plane, brush off the snow, remove any covers, curse the wind chill, then what?
Fire up the portable generator and plug in a couple of hair dryers blowing under cowling? (Assuming the airport has no service)
Spray down all the surfaces with deicing fluid?
Jumper cables to juice up the battery?
How do you do it efficiently if you fly every week or two in winter, yet are stuck with an outside tie down?
