REFLECTOR: Naca Hose heater

[Thomas Mann via Reflector]

I think you may be on to something Jerry. 

I’m looking forward to a warm cabin this winter as I won’t be flying until November at the earliest and I really don’t want to have to wait until spring.


Keep posting those results!

Now as winter is at our door step here in Chicago.   We had snow on Saturday. I have been trying a idea that seems to be 
working out . I am in the early stages of testing this but so far I like what I feel.  My thought is the Naca front heater scoop
is what many say is a ram air scoop. I think  is to large. So to keep it short I am working on blocking off much of the scoop to see if I can get 
more heat transfer by allowing the air to slow down and expand before being used to heat the cabin. The first test I had almost 
no air pushing through the air ducts. The second test had nice warm air  . I have to do much more testing of this but I like the early results.
Has any one else tried this and if so what did you find.
