on it. With what I know now I think I would have just bought a couple of
heater pads from JC Whitney and made up a thermostat myself. I would have
cost me $90.00 instead of $200 some dollars.
I've installed a 200w pad from JC Whitney on my Jabiru. It was about $50, I
think. It is almost identical to the EZ Heat pad installed on my Pawnee and
Citabria that cost about $300 each. Such is the cost of an STC.....

Haven't run the Jab yet, but I can tell you the heaters on my Citabria and
Pawnee make a huge difference in engine start up in the winter.
