Plus the draw on the electric system is very high. But I = will monitor your progress for sure. But, I was thinking of running 1/2" flexible aluminum tubing (will = probably need to be insulated?) from the engine compartment to the nose = section to install an oil radiator core and blower there. Exactly like = it's shown in the Aerocanard video (lines glasses to the inside of both = fuselage sides). If I were to use coolant and not oil, what size/type of lines should I = use? And are 1/2" line for oil adequate? If not what would be an ideal = setup for someone using a radiator (coolant or oil? What line = size/type?, etc.)?

That's going to be 20 to 25 amps, depending on what your=20 regulator is set to, and will still only give 1/4 of what the typical=20 hair dryer delivers. Probably a minor issue if the heat can be trapped=20 in that insulated tube called a Cozy cockpit, but close to useless=20 otherwise. I have found the defrost to be MUCH more important than=20 cabin heat. The defrost of the Cherokee I trained in could barely keep=20 up with the chill of a North Carolina morning, and made finding the=20 airport "interesting" (wipe/scan......wipe/scan....wipe). My solution for my Delta was to pull heat off the oil cooler. A movable = panel blocks part of the air in the exit duct and forces it through the=20 cabin through SCEET hoses. Vents are located in what I hope are optimal = defrosting positions. -- Homepage: http://www.flyrotary.com/ Archive and UnSub: = http://mail.lancaironline.net:81/lists/flyrotary/List.html
