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 :-).
Hi
Rich,
So if you get cold
enough, you will actually speak to the list :-)
How about attaching a
scat tube at the rear of the right cheek evap core. This would give water
heating, with essentially clean air (good CO monitor always a good idea).
Ideally, you could use one of Van's standard cabin heat valves on the
firewall.
Tracy and I
also discussed using the cheek area for heat inlet to the cabin. If
there's no room on the firewall, you could route the scat tube to a flange on
the front bulkhead of the cowl cheek extension, then create an opening on the
cabin wall inside the cheek extension area. You could put your on/off
valve on the inside cabin wall. You may need a way to keep
the hot air from blowing directly on your avionics
though.
So how many hours do you
have on the plane now?
Cheers,
Rusty (2.1 hours
of non-hmmmmmm)
