Valin,

Yes the stock heater is a joke, but not funny. Ron and I are working on a new manifold heater that should at least double the output within virtually the same envelope. I just completed the CAD design and we will prototype it soon. I will call you next week to describe it off-line.

Subject: [LML] Legacy Cabin Heating?

Hello,

I’ve heard some people say they don’t get enough heat from their Legacy’s cabin heat engine muff system. We’ve got a Legacy heat muff kit on order and notice in the manual that the ducting is 1.5” diameter where, from searching the internet, it looks like 2” ducting is typical in our class of aircraft.

Could I get some feedback from the Legacy community on how your cabin heat system is working and if anyone has used something other than the Lancair kit for their heat, what was used, and how it worked out…?

I know… You’d expect this question in January rather than August… J

Thanks,

Valin Thorn
