    Subject: Cabin heat options ?
    12/4/2013 Hello Scott, If you can come up with the electrical power resource electrically heated clothing is a very effective way to go. See here: http://www.thewarmingstore.com/gerbings-heated-clothing-store.html?gclid= CKTaovHHlrsCFQPNOgodjzoAqg#.Up8e88RDt8E OC 'O C' Baker says "The best investment you can make is the effort to gather and understand information." ===================== Time: 10:02:13 AM PST US From: Scott MacIntyre <scott@s-f-x.com> Subject: Pulsar-List: Cabin heat options ? Hi Just curious what options have worked for installing cabin heat in Pulsars. My passengers seem to be getting cold even on mild winter=92s days. I did a search on the forum and noticed Barry (G-XPXP) has a small radiator with a fan but hoping there may be a conventional kit that fits/works to give lots of heat.

    My pitot tube actually ends inside the wing with a rubber hose coupling it to the separate tube outside. That makes it easy to replace a bent pitot tube. You could open up the skin around the broken tube, slide a rubber hose over it and stick a new piece of tubing in.

    A pitot tube flush with the leading edge can be expected to produce larger airspeed reading errors than one that sticks out. The further it sticks out, the smaller are the errors.

    I tried that HB heater in plane years ago and found that the electrical noise from the fan motor interfered with comm so badly, I could not hear or talk. Bob H

    Subject: Re: Broken Pitot
    Tim If it were my repair I would try using a very thin piece of aluminum or brass tubing that would just slide over the outside of the original pitot. Cut some small grooves in one end of that to use as a cutting edge and turn it like a drill bit until it works/cuts its way into the wing and around the broken off pitot. Cut the part that now sticks out of the wing to a length that you can use to slide the original outside piece of pitot inside of that. Either glue in place or use a piece of rubber hose to hold in place so that it is flexible and won't break again.

Any suggestions on the easiest way to fix this? I know I could cut an inspection hole on the underneath side of the wing and get at it that way (more work than I really want to do right now). Has anyone successfully re-attached a tube by cutting around the remaining tube in the wing with a dremel and then coupling that to the extension?

    From: "red five" <jcox@extremecomposites.com>
    The wheels are shimmed straight. The gear leg between the wheel mount and the fuselage is not aligned with the direction of flight. They are twisted so that the front of the gear leg is toed out. I had the same problem on my Cardinal so I made new gear leg and intersection fairings along with new wheel pants and gained 7 mph. I plan on doing the same on this Pulsar to see how it does. -------- Pulsar 582 n66em Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=414860#414860

    I use a Pontiac heater core and a five inch computer fan and route coolant through it in the winter. I also block one of the radiators to get the cool ant temps up to about 180 when it's really cold. Plenty of heat. I use cabl e operated valves to route the coolant.
