Yep! Always too hot one place and not hot enough another.  I fly without a thermostat as well and in cold weather the water heater simply does not get sufficiently hot coolant to be effective.  Have flow with OAT = 12F and toes stayed attached - but, it was not comfortable. 
 
I've tried a thermostat twice and almost cooked my engine both times - so I have given up on one.  Besides, I can normally pick when I fly (being retired) and don't go flying when its cruel to my body.{:>)

Apparently his heater isn't getting hot enough to keep his feet warm.  He's thinking about putting a thermostat back in.  ;)

Good to hear that Chuck made it to Copper state.  I had not heard that he was flying again after his rotor mis-hap in Texas last Feb.  Thanks for the report, Dale.
