Kaos, you might want to look into an electric infrared strip heater and heat only the work areas needing attention. I use the heaters in my barn to keep my critters warm but I am planning to install one over my main work area. They have a control knob to dial in the heat so they have adjustability. I too am making my R/C shop in a metal building. Rather than spend the energy and money to insulate the whole building (at least this winter) you could use one hanging heater to keep you in the heat.
