[Alex Balic]

"With the nose gear down and gear doors open"
i.e.- when you are in the pattern and frigid air is pouring into the cabin.

  I think the simplest way to seal an RG cockpit is to make a silicone seal
around the nose gear doors.  With that and a heat flap that completely
closes the oil cooler overboard air exit, you will have all the heat you
need this time of year.

 how do you guys keep air
from rushing into the cockpit?

    I know I obviously have to install some kind of barrier 
 but I’m not
sure of the configuration.


    Any ideas?  Or better yet 
 any photos?
