Cockpit heater system

[Velocity_Russia]

I'm worry about foots of your second pilot.

Main reason for installing oil cooler in nose is heating of wind shield. We can't change oil cooling parameters and must have same cooling characteristics all time. We only can take hot air after radiator and deliver it in wind shield zone or drop it.
If you need high quality independed heating system, you can use WEBASTO like here:  http://www.reaa.ru/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.pl?num=1204907463

Yikes ! !     I'd be worried about carrying a little fuel up front for a heater like that.  It probably works great,  but I'm not crazy about carrying fuel there ! !

Yeah,  there is maybe a little more heat for the GIB,  but I think she won't mind ! !

This airplane carry 2 fuel tanks (1 barrel approx.) in the wings upper the passengers. It's auto fuel. WEBASTO use kerosine and it will be less dangerous. Also, this heater used only in winter time and carry fuel only 4-5 months in year. This airplane have big 4 seats cocpit (you can walk between seats in flight) and heating work really very good. Normally cocpit heated before engine started and you don't need enabling any aircraft systems at this time. It's useful when you fishing in cold time  .

For your memory - Long-EZ have fuel selector and fuel lines just bottom your seat.

Fuel is dangerous in case of fire, but pressurized oil dangerous when leaking (too hot)!

In Velocity and our Long-EZ (long nose) we have bulkhead for oil leaking protection.
