What am I missing?
I have the new style carb.heat air box on my RV8A and don't see what the issue is with the change to relocate the screen from the front of the baffle ramp to the inlet of the heater, down stream of the heat muff. Is the aim to increase the heat output to the carb? if so, will it not decrease the output to the cabin heater? Previous installs using the screen at the main air inlet have not been a safety
issue.
I have not flown the airplane yet, waiting DAR inspection, however, the new heat muff looks like it will be an improvement over the previous model. I would expect increased output in both the heater and carb heat.
