So glad I put in cabin heat! It was a beeeeuuutiful afternoon up here in NJ. Into my second hour in the air, and just starting to relax a little with the feelof the Piet. Doing a big oval just west of the field over fields ( yes wehave fields in NJ) when I remembered my cabin heat. Worked great. Didn't exactlyburn my feet, but you could feel it. Now just have to cover the front holeand I'll be as snug as a bug.To anyone in the building stage that wonders should he or shouldn't he, I thinkit's worth it. Just for the book, I built four separate pipes for an A-65 withthe heat muffs by Tony Bengalis, of the same sized pipe split longways, spreadopen and attached to only one exhaust pipe, and capped at the rear, witha side discharge pipe for the scat hose. didn't think the heat would be there,but seems to be fine. One side feeds cabin heat , the other feeds carb heat.AIN'T LIFE GRAND!!!Read many times about when you fly it, it will all be worth while,,,well doublethat, and it goes for me.waltNX140DL(north N.J.)________________________________________________________________________________Date: Wed, 20 Nov 2002 20:15:17 -0600
