My Legacy is built to factory plans by a previous
owner. Last January, from Kalispell to Florida at 15,000 and -30C OAT it
was challenging to stay warm. I was fortunate to have gloves and
headware and bright sunshine but I could see my breath in the cockpit most of
the trip. My feet were OK though so it suggests perhaps low volume of flow
was the issue. I know the fresh air vents are hurricane-like in volume but
those were closed of course. My feeling is that airflow volume is more
important than outlet temperature when dealing with cabin heat so if you can
increase the airlflow without a lot of hassles then that could be the answer if
you are flying ia a lot of really cold weather or for extended legs. Let
us know what you do or change.

I’ve heard
some people say they don’t get enough heat from their Legacy’s cabin heat engine
muff system.
