Hi All-
I'm trying to increase the heat output on my -9. It's getting cold!
I'm trying to do minimal new cutting of the airplane until I exhaust other options, so this is my current plan:
Add another heat muff on left side exhaust, run intake scat from cowling inlet. Then, instead of running the hot scat from the new muff to it's own heatbox and making a new hole in the firewall, I was thinking I'd join this duct to the existing hot air ducting from the existing muff, before the heat box, thus still just have one hole through the firewall. As of now, the one muff just isn't putting much hot airflow through the existing heatbox, so I'm not too worried they'll crowd each other out. I'm trying to increase the volume of hot air that's coming into the cabin, so this seems like it's worth a try.
Then, if that isn't enough I'll go ahead and add the second heat box, but I'd rather wait on that until I need to.
Have you guys found any good 2-into-1 junctions for Scat tubing? Anything obviously wrong with this plan?
I'm new to this, so if there's anything obviously dumb here, please point it out!
Thanks!
