I live in Colorado. I have a Tannis engine preheater and when it is cold like it has been this month I keep a blanket over the cowl in addition to the preheat.. The preheater is timed to come on at 4 and go off at 11 so it's always ready to go. , My airplane is in a hange so I don't seem to have a frost problem.

Is'nt Mn. fun. I leave my side window open during taxi
Be careful to be sure it is cleared off to fly. I didn't one time thinking it would clear off better during take-off roll,which it always did before, it got worse and by the time I cleared it off I had hit fog, not fun. This happen because the Equal was out side in the rain the night before. I am only saying how stupid of a mistake I made, and for others not to do the same.
I have a muffler which gives off much more heat to the cabin than the straight pipes do. I have tried both

Almost forgot, they do make an anti-fog spray that does work well for smowmobiling, might be worth looking into

My Esqual also is hangered and I have a timed heater that I set the day before flight to go on one hour prior to the flight. This canopy fog happened at my cabin in central Wi. and I was not used to having rain and moisture on the aircraft over night,
