Kevin,
I have been flying in subzero conditions with my PH-JGW c/w 914 type engine and
do not need any form of heater in the cockpit. The engine temp. finds its way
into the cockpit one way or the other and its comfortable in winter. On the
other
hand it can get too hot in summer.
Regards Jack

Kevin,
I've copied a friend's set up, which works well on his 914 mono.
Brings air in from outside with SCAT tubing, over a "cuff" on the muffler,
with inlet and outlet, to warm the air up, then to an airbox ( from
aircraft spruce catalogue) and dumps the warm air through the top of the
firewall moulding, down on to the pilots feet, or out of the vents on the
top of the cowling, depending whether the airbox flap is up or down.
Easier to do on a 912S installation as I was able to use the inlet duct on
the right lower side of the bottom fairing, on a 914
would have to add an inlet duct.
My problem now is I may end up using this hot air for carb heat, unless I
can get an approval on my Skydrive system.

Subject: Europa-List: cold toes in G-ROOV
anyone any idea about the process involved in fitting a cockpit heater?
( G-ROOV is a turbo Rotax 914)
does this mod affect performance (added weight being a given)
thanks
kevin
