You own a plane, but can't afford a grand for a good generator?!?!?

I think the Coleman Powermate runs 1,000 watts. I did a froogle
search, and this was the closest I found



http://power-tools.hardwarestore.com...or-632696.aspx

which is $609, and is 1800 watts.

What equipment do you want to run? Motors, lights, heaters, what?


Extremely occasional use at an airport location without electricity.

I need
to run a 250w engine pre-heater 10 times a year for a couple of

hours.
Concurrent with that, I'd probaby run a battery tender which would

have a
very low draw.

I figure spending a few hundred bucks on a generator will be cheaper

(but
less convenient) in the long run than running power to the hangar

and paying
an electricity bill (and meter charge) every month.
