REFLECTOR: Need for Cabin Heat at Altitude

[Don Johnston]

Not sure who this was directed to, but in my case...

I have a panel that extends from the forward edge of the canard to the top
of the fuselage (just forward of the doghouse). There is a 3" opening in
the panel. The bilge blower attaches to the opening in the panel and SCAT
tubing runs to the nose NACA just aft of the damper which shuts off the
outside air.  When the the blower is running, air is pulled from the cabin
(behind the instrument panel), through the blower, through the oil cooler
(now it's really an air heater) and back into the cabin (the damper for oil
cooler exit duct out the bottom would be closed) through the two 1.5" ducts
that exit on the floor between the rudder pedals.

I have no mechanism to move that air to the aft part of the cabin (at this
time).

The heat level can be controlled by adjusting the speed of the fan or by
varying the position of the inlet and exhaust dampers.

But (for me) this is all theoretical since I'm not flying yet.
