REFLECTOR: Velocity heater

[NMFlyer1 at aol.com]

Dave, 
 
I thought much the same thing about Velocity heaters. Although I am not yet  
flying my chevy V-6 powered velocity, I am confident that my coolant re  
circulation heater with a blower (also a boost cooler when hot) will work fine.  It 
re circulates cabin air just like an automotive heater. 
 
Since I have been flying in some Very Cold air recently (My last 2 trips  
were -21 and -31 respectively) I too have tested the limits of the heating  
system in my old & ugly Cherokee 235. I sealed up all the cold air leaks I  could, 
and made sure the ancient technology of exhaust muff heat was tuned to as  
good as it would get. Still there was room for more comfort. 
 
I remember hearing folks talk on the reflector about heated  blankets/throws, 
and found a source that proved pretty comfy. The current draw  is acceptable 
and the warmth and comfort makes all the difference. 
Here's where I got it:  
 
_12 Volt  Travel Electric Heated Blankets & Pads_

See if it helps.
