Reviews

Works perfect. I bought two of them to use in my Aztec. I didn’t like the idea of having to remember to turn on preheat X number of hours prior to departure time. Also with many forms of preheat you are advised to not leave on all the time. With the hornets there is no problem with leaving them on 24/7. The thermostat turns them off when it hits 70. I put a blanket over each cowl and plugged them up. Came back the next day with an OAT of 32. Oil temps were 62/63 and all CHT’s were 65-75. 1/4 the cost of a Tannis or Reiff system. Also you can loan to a friend and/or use on a different aircraft. It might struggle to keep up on a windy ramp without really good insulation but in a hangar it does extremely well.

Im a converted believer! Heat from the top, through conduction not from the bottom, creating condensation! This unit is well built and safe. Set it on top of your engine, plug it in, wrap cowl, forget it. Simply go flying in the morning, your engine is preheated and ready to go. I love my Twin Hornet!

This hornet22 heater surprised me. I put it on top of the cyls. on a 40 degree cold aircraft engine at 6m, next day at 8am the oil was 62 degrees, EGT was 60, CHT was 62. Impressed with this for sure.

The heater is useful, as described and came with a long and quality cord. I would recommend it for none deep freeze temps. Above 15 degrees would be a guess. below that, you may need a larger output temp.

I love this little heater! My engine remains warm with the oil temps consistently in the low 60’s in an unheated hangar where the temp has been 20-30F.

Q: I have a Baron 58. Does it come with one or two heaters for each motor?

This is sold as each engine. If you have a twin you will need to buy (2).

Q: How long do you plug this in and operate before needing the plane? I am hoping an hour does the job

Because the heater is thermostatically controlled, it should be plugged in at all times when the ambient temperature is below 60 degrees. To answer your question, it can take up to 48 hours to heat a cold soaked engine.

Q: By leaving the unit plugged in constantly, what is the risk of creating a greenhouse effect inside the engine (condensation)?

Per Manufacturer: One of the biggest advantages of the Twin Hornet 22 is that it keeps the engine above the dew point at all times, this eliminates any possibility of condensation.

Q: Do both fans run at the same time with the Twin Hornet 22 - Engine Preheater - 120V?

Yes, both fans will always operate at the same time.
