Hey guys I saw this winter flying pilot station that I thought you guys would get a kick out of it! Can you say global warming...http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/14/12/02/01e5c1f8c08547cee361dd67ffa82a69.jpg

I wonder what's the heat source, might get his pants on fire:eek:

But it would be doable, might not need the heater just close partially the front with a half door it would at least cut the wind. It would also have to be fold able to be put away.

Ray and I had tried to build something like that but bigger with one of those portable sun shelter but by putting clear plastic all around, we build it in my living room as I remember, but it was hard to see through the plastic so we abandon the project.

That's funny. Albert and I were just discussing (joking) about possibly piping warm air from the shack to a pilot station. Guess it may be a decent idea after all....

Definitely no very hard to build. They are using a kerosene/diesel forced air heater. I'm assuming it needs power...http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/14/12/03/c9ea6b2c1907c847ceb6530655f0dae6.jpg

Better include a raised floor, otherwise you will have wet feet.

Not a bad idea but those guys fly heli's and not airplanes.
You have to be half in the shelter and half out in order to see your plane. Or you can fly 3D right in front of you.
