With all of the recent cold weather my thoughts are turning towards how to best heat my aircraft cabin.
Does anyone have any suggestions for a heater core, perhaps one made out of aluminum? One that puts out enough heat to warm a 4 seater cabin when it is -20F degrees outside. I would welcome all suggestions.
Thanks,

My plan is to mount the oil cooler in the right inboard wing strake, with exhaust on top of the wing.  A short piece of SCAT tube will pick up hot air from the exhaust duct and dump it into the cabin.  I'm choosing to pull from the oil cooler because it'll be much hotter than the radiator and will heat much faster than the water.  Those muffler cowl things just scare the bejeesus outa me.  I vaguely remember reading somewhere that the exit air should be somewhere around 140 degrees Farenheit.
