REFLECTOR: Cabin Heat1

[Peter Braswell]

Fred,
Please forgive me if you've already posted a URL to the heater that you're
intending on using.  This thread, though immensely helpful has gotten very,
very large.  Would you mind reposting?

A compact, self container heater whether electric or other fuel powered
seems like the easiest solution and one that could conceivably be retrofit.
 The solution that I found and posted in an earlier thread, a LongEZ driver
did a oil cooler in parallel - sealing the gear door and forcing air via
thru via a blower motor, though seemingly effective, is complex to
implement.

TIA,
Peter
