Yes and here is some more: engine pre-heating can be automatic controlled
by outside air temp thermostat. It heats in cycles. Also, one hour before
flight,
send a SMS via GSM or over net and you have a summer cabin in minus 30C.
These are here everyboys equipments in cars and and now also in Europas.
We have a saying "it starts like under the palm-tree".
I considered also radio controlled fuel burning 2 kw lightweight Webasto
but it proved to be too fun to be true: serious problems with exhaust gas
pressures when airborne. But I know a person who is going to solve this
problem. He is Finnish...
If somebody like to investigate, check type 2000S:

Think about this dream: you and your Europa with diesel Webasto land to huge
airport.
You order a fuel truck to refuel JET A1. They refuel you full, it is only one
liter.
After that you start your Webasto (which is w/o silencer!).
Everybody can hear a real jet-sound.
After couple of minutes you start your whisper-quiet Rotax and fly away.
Everybody will remember JET-Europa, which was refueled full by one liter.
I talked this story to Ivan Shaw in 1999 PFA Rally and he liked it.
