I was kinda hoping that I could have an auto type environment where I could sit in my shirt sleeves regardless of the outside temp. Oh, well. I have lots of time, so I'll keep pondering the problem. Bert -----Original Message----- From: Stephen J. Soule [mailto:SSoule@pfclaw.com] Subject: RE: RV8-List: Rear Cockpit Heat --> RV8-List message posted by: "Stephen J. Soule" 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.

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? = ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 12:16:11 PM PST US Subject: RV8-List: [ Fred Stucklen ] : New Email List Photo Share Available!

There is also a data error for 2000 rpm. I will post a corrected version on 4 Jan 2003 as soon as I do some more testing. -- Kevin Horton RV-8 (baffles, induction air, oil cooler) Ottawa, Canada http://go.phpwebhosting.com/~khorton/rv8/
