In addition to our active community, our content boasts exhaustive technical information which is often sought after for projects and maintenance. This information has accumulated over the 12+ years the forum has been in existence.

    The Biplane Forum is a private community. Subscriptions are only $49.99/year or $6.99/month to gain access to this great community and unmatched source of information not found anywhere else on the web.

Hello everyone,


I am installing ventilation in my Skybolt, and have been pondering whether to install heat. I have the Steen canopy set up in place. I purchased the box, sceet, etc, (about $250 worth of stuff) but still not sure if it is worth the effort.One consideraton is that it will not look that pretty with the 2 inchtubinginside the cockpit. Another is the level of use. I live near St. Louis and I hope this global warming :) will help out. What is the minimum OAT to fly comfortably without heat source?and wonder if anyone has any thoughts/experience on the necessity of a cockpit heat system.
Thanks


Dave
