I'm planning on traveling to a ski resort in Canada this winter (Mont-Tremblant) and would like to keep my Cessna 182 outside for a few days. That area is known to get pretty cold (down to -10F), and to have lots of snow and sometimes freezing rain.
I'm trying to figure out which covers I should get for the airplane so that I won't have to worry about snow and ice buildup. I have a canopy cover. I know I'm going to need a wing and a horizontal stabilizer cover. I'm also planning to get an insulated engine cover and bring a generator to heat up the engine using the Reiff preheat system.
Will I need a prop cover, and if so why? When the airplane is running, I have prop heat, so that can be used to remove any ice that builds up. Anything wrong with this plan?
Do I need an empennage cover / vertical stabilizer cover?
Any other tips for me?
