Too bad they don't make aerogel insulation for aircraft, 1000° on one side, cool to the touch on the other, weighs virtually nothing. The one big failing of my patrol door was in the winter.

2024年12月24日 · How common is corrosion on these old birds (Cessna 170/180)? The older 172 I am currently flying is constantly battling corrosion but we are near the coast in a high humidity environment.

Electro is about $2k more than Surefly.
