My newly acquired XS doesn't have a cabin heater. For those of you not flying in a non-tropical environment, what are us doing to provide heat for the cabin? Steve Crimm A058 N15JN
Steve and All I originally had a cockpit heater taking hot air off a plenum over the top of the muffler. At Oshkosh this past summer, Dave Anderson and I traded stories about CO in the cockpit. Becau
The XS already has a duct with two radiators in it. Is there anyone flying with a heater intake aft of the oil cooler on the XS? Does this provide some real heat? Seems like CO would not be a problem

Hi All, Has anyone tried sealing the joints in the exhaust manifold pipes to reduce the amount of CO escaping into the engine bay? There is evidence that a substantial amount of exhaust gas escapes f
William, This is not a good idea unless you enjoy practicing your stainless welding skills every weekend; the system will crack if denied the functioning of its slip joints. Lubricating with coppersl
Following the discussion on the virtues of different types of heat extraction for a cabin heater it seems prudent to wait and see whether the PFA approve one of the alternative heat systems before lo
