| Subject: | Rear Cockpit Heat |
--> RV8-List message posted by: "Bert Penney" <van@entechnos.com>
I just purchased an RV-8 empennage, so I am a long way from worrying
about heat, but since I live in Canada, one thing that has been a bit of
concern for me is operating an RV in the winter. It seems to me that,
with just a thin sheet of al between me and the outside, there is a
fairly high potential for very cold and uncomfortable flying. Has
anyone spent much time flying their RV in very cold (-20 to -40)
weather? Have you done anything to protect yourself from the cold? How
did it work?
Thanks
Bert

I put in 2 Vans heat muffs and boxes. 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.
