[Titanaircraft] Flying in cold weather

I have tried a Tornado 2 for the first time yesterday and I was extremely impressed. It flies very well and is surprisingly comfortable considering the size of the front cockpit. As I almost always fly alone, tbe size of the back cockpit will only be relevant as luggage space.

As I live in a place where the winter is cold and there is a lot of snow, I have a few questions related to the use of the Tornado during the winter:

1) What is the best engine for flying in the winter: the Jabiru 2200 or the Rotax 912? In particular, I am wondering if any of them is likely to start well without preheating?

2) I would like to fit wheel-skis in the winter. Is there any problem using skis on the Jabiru. In particular, based on the previous discussion about direct steering vs spring steering, is spring steering compatible with ski use?

3) What is the best way to have cabin heat?
