I do not have a speed brake and do not want one. I have a prop and
engine braking that works ok when I need it. I use the nose cooler for
heat but it is very poor. I bought a 20 dollar electric 12 volt blanket
and sit on it - toasty.

Hi,
A couple questions for those already flying...
If you didn't install a speedbrake, if you were to do it again would you
install it?
If you did install a speedbrake, are you glad you did? Do you use it
often?
I have heard that with RG's it is hard to heat the cabin at altitude
and/or winter. If you could do
it again, would you still cut the NACA for the oil cooler? I have heard
people using two coolers,
one near the engine to be used during the summer, and another in the
nose that
is used as a heater during the winter. Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Jack Prock
