Ok, Guys, calm down.
My problem is I'm short on cash + need to protect my Coupe. I had someone
flying her about every 2 months, but they're moving from AZ to CA, thus I
have no one to fly her now. I need someone current in Coupes, trustworthy
and very safe. Wouldn't you want references, too, if it was your plane
and you didn't know the pilot?
If the economy was better either I'd have the $ I need, or I would sell my
Coupe, but understand small planes are selling for about half their value
right now.

Go tell them they are stupid and of course tell them the correct way to do
it, at least tell them your way because that appears to be the best.

By me saying run it once in a while I of course did not assume that
some one would be stupid enough to start it and shut it down before it was
up to temperature.
I didn't intend to imply anyone was stupid. What folks don't realize
is that you cannot get the engine warm enough on the ground to get the oil
up to 180 and keep it there for 1/2 hour, long enough to boil off the
condensation, without exceeding the cylinder head temperature limitations.
Oil and engine manufacturers agree: ground running is worse than letting
the engine sit. My philosophy is: if you start it you better fly it.
BTW, there are a lot of "stupid" people out there. All you have to do
is go to the airport some Saturday during the winter and watch them spend
20 minutes preparing then 10 minutes running the engine then another 20
minutes closing everything up. John
