Actually Shannon I found your post refreshing. With so many that worry this or that weighs too many ounces. Here you are adding a few pounds for comfort! Obviously taking advantage of the true capabilities of your airplane. Adding to that the unselfish offer to others. Yep! Very refreshing! Thanks Shannon!

I will measure the space in my crane as it has no AC.
Okay count me as one if you get enough to make this offer, I'm in for the basic 30qt 12v. ...and thank you.

I'm not a buyer, but I do appreciate the thought that went into your offer. Same goes for me Shannon. I think it is a great gesture, but I have a few other things right now to use the money with. Grateful just the same for the offer.

FYI, it is 3° Celcius per 1000' so in that hypothetical situation, 100°F is 38°C. -3°C/1000' = 8°C at 10,000'(or 46°F). Its still 100°F on the ramp while you're taxiing out which is where these units were intended to be used. Run them till you climb to cooler altitudes, then switch it off.
Roy, run time is an issue as is weight. We've experimented with freezing milk jugs and gotten much longer cooling times, not to mention the savings. On a longer trip, climbing to cooler temps is more practical and leaving the unit in the hangar would probably be best. Also, they are not completely full w/ 25 lbs of cubed ice. You do also have to add 2" of water, but you still want there to be room to prevent any accidental spillage during turbulence.
Shannon, I apologize. It takes a lot of time and effort to do a group buy, and it's generous of you to do so. I'm sure -- and I'm seeing -- that quite a few people are finding them useful. Roy

I'll go back now and sweat in my hangar...... No way of getting up in the air at any altitude with the engine being worked on.
Thanks again for thinking of everyone.

Surprised that they would sell them to you at a distributor discount though. I heard that they won't even sell Spruce because they are in the Sporty's lineup.
Folks, these are nice units!

I appreciate you doing the leg work and the offer too. I have considered it, but I don't have the room (space or weight) with everything I'm hauling to Clinton. Plus I would have to add ice every other stop. I know lots of self serv gas pumps, but ice is not avalable at any of them.

The larger Class D & C airports, with the larger FBOs, generally have an ice machine for free refills to the corporate planes. The smaller ones we frequent don't, thus creating a courtesy car ride to find replentishment. Bill Rourke and myself found that out during our Clinton 2011 trip.  Still, though, it's a great offer, Shannon!

There are a few things I can get descent discounts on, so if anyone has something you really want, let me know and I'll see what I can do.
