My wife Kim made an engine blanket for my CH750 C-IKIM. Side closure is velcro, simple and quick to install on the cowls. The engine blanket assists the Reiffe electric engine preheater on cold mornings in the hangar. It also keeps the engine warm enough to start so your can fly home after 4 - 6 hours ice fishing at -20C in the winter. Bonus feature is it can be worn over the pilots head as a poncho for winter survival if need be...goes right down to my toes !
Final material cost $80.
