I'm about to hang the engine but thought it best to have a plan for the location and arrangement for the 2" tubing before starting. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Merchant Dean, Rear cockpit heat is an issue with the RV-8. I've grappled with it and managed to come up with an improved but not perfect system.

One dumps on the pilots feet, and the second has 2 inch SCAT tube that runs along the left lower cockpit wall terminating just aft of the throttle quadrant abeam the pilots seat, secured to the spar carry through. They work well above 0F. > > > --> RV8-List message posted by: "Dean C. Merchant" > > Hello: ... I have a question about delivering hot air to the rear cockpit > of the RV8.
