Gentlemen:
Living in Florida, the cockpit heat is almost never needed. Last year, the
heat muff off the right exhaust was removed. Then used SCAT tubing to direct
fresh air from the front cowling directly into the two cockpit vents. This
gave a somewhat larger volume of cooler fresh air sans engine gases. A simple
improvement.

Guys,
Pushing air into the cockpit via a third shutter mounted blast tube is
in my mind the best situation and requires the lease modifications. I
favor this over the other methods because this results in the pilot
being "air washed" in a steady stream of fresh air from a point well in
front of the CO source. For those of you that have the slip joint
exhaust or no need for cabin heat this is easily accomplished by the
addition of a pair of cut out shutter vanes and a blast tube assembly,
plus some scat tube to deliver the fresh air to the cockpit. Some
issues do crop up about the potential danger of fire and smoke in the
cockpit via this new hole in the firewall should you be unfortunate
enough to have an engine fire. This problem can be solved by using fire
proof scat and a stainless steel firewall air valve which is available
from Van's or Spruce. If you have a Yak 18T or Yak 52 cabin heat muff
in your exhaust system things are a bit better for us colder weather
types because the valve on the cabin heat muff will allow either fresh
or hot air to be sent to the cockpit, but you still have to feed the
fresh blast tube air into the heat muff and then somehow get it through
the fire wall. Personally I would not disconnect the fresh air cooling
from the generator. This not only robs it of it cooling air but forces
it to run in oily air environment which will shorten it's life.
Just my 5 cents worth.
Always Yakin,
Doug

You just had to pound your point.

FYI for interested U.S. vets:
Subject: Change in Flag Conduct
Per an article in this month's Arizona VFW Newsletter, Section 9 of title 4, United
States Code, has been amended to state - "Members of the Armed Forces and
veterans who are present but not in uniform may render the military salute" during
hoisting, lowering, or passing of the flag. In the past, if you weren't
in uniform, you showed your respect by placing your right hand over your heart.
I wonder how many folks you'll see doing this in the future.
This change was passed by the Senate on July 25, 2007.

Should have been at the Alabama game with me Sat. Night. I did have a few
questions from those standing near me. I'm amazed at how many citizens do
not even know how to place their right hand over their heart during the
national anthem. Look at everyone of our "sports" heroes! Dirt balls have
not defended anything!
