| Subject: | Rear Cockpit Heat |
--> RV8-List message posted by: "Stephen J. Soule" <SSoule@pfclaw.com>
Bert,
I wear a snowmobile suit at temperatures below freezing in my RV-6A. I
bought a surplus USAF Nomex insulated flight suit that is also very
comfortable, but a little hard to get on and off. I wear insulated boots,
too. Sorrel boots or Lacrosse work well. I look like I'm ready for ice
fishing when I'm suited up. I would like to be comfortable if I have to land
in a field or on a frozen lake, so that is another reason to wear a moon
suit in the winter!
Sun coming into the bubble canopy keeps pilot and passenger warm from the
waist up. I have a single heat muff that discharges on the passenger's feet.

-----Original Message-----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?

I was away from home over the Christmas period, and I couldn't work
on the project, so I found some time to produce a spreadsheet to
calculate the power output of the Lycoming IO-360-A and C engines.
The Excel 4 spreadsheet basically replicates the graphical power
chart found in the Lycoming Operator Manual. The zipped spreadsheet
can be found on my web site - there is a link in the Engine part of
the RV Links section, and there will be a link on the front page of
the site for the next while.
