Hi.
I'm looking for a way to make the cockpit warmer and considering to insulate the FF, but came to wonder if that might have the opposite effect? Maybe the FF is getting warm during flight and by insulating it, I'll get a cooler cockpit?
For the record: I've installed ailreon boots, taped shut all those little holes in the cockpit, have a kind of "seal" along the canopy-rail etc etc, but still the cockpit is rather cold when the OAT drops below -10*C.
I'll also install some insulation on the fuse-sides where I can. I have CAD interior so it schould be room enough for that a number of places.
But for now; will insulating the FF give a warmer or cooler cockpit? My gut feeling tells me that the FF gets warm during flight?
Ofcourse I could find a way to crawl or bend over and feel the FF during flight, but why go through that troublesome exercise when a quick post to the great VAF-forum does the same job?
