REFLECTOR:Heating

[Brett Ferrell]

Craig,

I'm going a similar route, installing seat heaters and a mixer valve to get the air temperature I want, but am not have 2 zones.  I was wondering, did you use the mixer from Spruce or make your own?

Also, after feedback from a flying Velocity, I'm installing a bilge fan so I can heat (through a second oil cooler) recirculated cabin air instead of bringing (potentially subzero) outside air in.  And since I've got an FG, I'm going to use the keel as a heating duct for the backseats to get some hot air.....
