Just built the heater valve kit but have not cut the hole in the
firewall, after talking to a local builder (were in the deep south)
he never connected the hose to the exhaust pipe heater and
said he has never opened the valve, not needed in the deep south
I wanted to ask, does anyone really need heat in these planes
down here.. ? is it worth the danger of fire on the inside..
I have seen the stainless steel versions of the valve ect.. but I am
not so sure I need it down here.. even the winter is not so cold I can't
ride my harley most of the time with a light jacket.. could I just leave
it off till I can see if its too cold in the cabin.. I have a firewall insulation
from abby (flightline) I just don't know if I will be needing heat down
here.. I have very limited seat time in any aircraft.. hope that changes
if I every finnish this thing..
