I need some info from anyone already flying their RV-8(A). I am wondering how hot the forward baggage area gets considering it is by the upper firewall and it is closed of from the fresh air of the main cabin. I know no one would have an exact temperature but does a candy bar melt if left there, do you find your deodorant has liquefied after a long flight.
I am thinking it would not get tow hot inflight since most of the heat goes out the bottom of the cowl but I know some get heat from the lower firewall where the exhaust runs through.
If anyone has flown with a remote temperature probe up there even better.
Cheers
