Tim I would have thought for an aircraft, it would be more useful for heating/warming the fuel pump/fuel, since I thought at altitude, temps dropped, especially in inclement weather, and a carb freezing up would be bad. What do I know? Reality check, that half the population is smarter then 50% of the people and it's a constantly contested fact.
