Rich,
I am not flying yet, but what I did was take a small heater core (Ford Escort -- obtained from Rock Auto), and fabricate a duct and blower. I used a 5" blower and had a small plenum welded up to control the flow of air. Some pictures attached.

Wondering what others are doing for cockpit heat.  Like to find something "quick and dirty" so the plane is not down until summer when I won't need it :-).  As it will likely be a water source would like to know what is being used as a control.  Have checked the archives and found nothing on cockpit heat.

thanks,
Rich
