Steve,
Is the cutoff valve pictured from the RX7 or one you have added ??..........Also
have you any provision for directing heat to defrost the windshield or have you
found any need for that ??.............

Doug,
I’ve attached pictures of the heater I use which was donated by the 86 RX7 that also donated the engine. In my RV6A, each cockpit vent tube is tee’d to one side of the heater which is located under the center of the instrument panel. By operating the gate valves on the heater sides in combination with opening and closing the normal eyeball vents, the air distribution is quite controllable. I initially had a fan installed to draw air through the core but removed it since I did not find it necessary. Last Sunday with an outside air temp of 15 degrees on the ground, fully opening the heater air valves resulted in an uncomfortably warm cockpit in flight so the valves were partially closed.
