| Subject: | Rear Seat Heat Revisited |
--> RV8-List message posted by: RVEIGHTA@aol.com
Guys, some time back I asked if anyone had installed rear seat heat in their
8's. It seems that very few have gone this route. Personally I would prefer
not doing this, because it entails cutting holes through structures such as
the gear tower. But, I'm in a partnership, and my partner really has his
sights on heat for the passenger area.
My question to those of you living in colder climates is, have you really
felt the need for heat in back IF the cabin is well sealed against air leaks? I
might add that we will have dual heat muffs providing heat to the cabin.

Yes. SE Idaho gets cold anyway and we're often flying above 10K feet due
to mountains--dual heat tries to keep the cabin warmish from the waist
down, but often is not enough, especially on overcast days and up in the
teens of altitude in winter.
I have dual heat muffs and firewall mounted flapper valve boxes. One
dumps on pilots feet, the other dumps on the pax left foot pocket via 2"
SCAT. The SCAT is tied to the left pilot seat ramp, routes straight back
to the firewall inboard on the fuel switch, along the left gear tower
and back along the fuel line forward of the gear tower. I mounted the
transponder onto the left gear tower too and the SCAT runs just below it
so it doesn't really seem to stick out as it goes by the gear tower.
Plenty of room, no interference with rudder pedals, and simple to
install. Only problem is sealing it in summer, the flapper valve boxes
mounted on firewall don't seal closed well and pax's complain about
hot-foot...Anyone have a fix for that?
Cheers,
