With the FG, cabin cooling is more of a problem than heating. The nose is so 
tight that heat from the oil cooler body makes its way into the cabin and is 
uncomfortable. I totally insulated the oil cooler with 1/2" foamand sealed it 
with silicone and put in a cooling NACA.

Now I must admit that I have little experience in cold weather, but expect to 
soon and will report out on that.

I am also going to install fences on my plane and will report on that 
likewise.
