Hi,

I tried a heater mod that uses a flap to redirect air from behind the oil cooler into the cabin. Unfortunately it didn't generate a lot of heat. Last year, flying over Mt Snowden at 9500' it was -11 C outside and not much warmer inside even with the heater on full. So, to cope with the winter this year I have developed my own system that directs air through a shroud around the body of a Europa XS CKT silencer and into the cockpit via two vents. It works like a dream, so I thought I'd share it hear.

In addition to the shroud, I had to remake the ducting that directs the air under the engine and through the oil and water radiators to ensure there was sufficient clearance. The unit is made from 1/2 mm 6061-T6 aluminium.

I'm looking forward to freezing weather so I can test it.

All the best.
Carl

Waouh! It’s a great job ! I’ll try it. do you think there is no risk for the system to perfore the exhaust with the vibrations?

Many thanks for share it.
Olivier

Hi! All
Be sure to embody a carbon monoxide alert any such system that hugs the exhaust system is likely to ingest a slow death as a passenger for you, but I guess you would die warm !!!!!

I haven't applied for a mod yet. I wanted to get it working first, so I've ground run it and works very well. I might make another valve to let cold air into the system. My first attempt doesn't work as well as I'd hoped.

Anyway, I'll put a mod request once it's all perfected.

All the best.
Carl
