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
