From: "FlyboyTR" Glenn, Thanks for the reply. I had considered doing that. I have the heater control valve that either allows the heated air into the cockpit or dumps it overboard. I would have to have a second system and a second control valve to manage the cool air. I was trying to just completely disconnect the heat for the warmer months. I would reconnect late in the fall. It is the muffler/cuff overheating that I am worried about...since the air flow in/out of the cuff does remove a measure of heat. Thanks...and I appreciate your suggestion!

I have a 1965 Cessna 150E with a stock O200. Then scat hose from the hot end of the muff goes to a valve assemby on the firewall. When the heat is off, the hot air is allow to dump on the engine side of the firewall. When the heat is on it closes off the dump path and opens the access to the cabin through the firewall.

Hi Travis I'm no expert but what I did on my o-200 is use a air valve to let either heated air or outside air into the cabin. I bought it through Aircraft Spruce. I have a cool air tube as well as a warm air tube that stays attached to the heat muff. My flapper valve will still allow some air to flow through the heat muff and the vent overboard so that there is still air moving through the system to cool it somewhat. Biggest issue I see is the possible overheating of the exaust and heat muff as usually when these are in the off position, then air is dumped overboard. Just my thoughts as mine is not flying yet.

I have a Continental IO-240 in my Experimental Vixen. I have the stainless steel heat cuff on the muffler to provide cabin heat. I want to disconnect the Scat tubing (inlet and outlet) and bypass the heat cuff completely. I will reroute and connect the Scat tubing. This will allow non heated air to flow through the heat/vent system to provide more cooling in the cockpit. > > Will having the tubing disconnected create any strange heat issues? I really dont think that it wouldbut would appreciate some feedback regarding this.
