Weekend Mods

[LSaupe 123]

Raining weekend so finally got some mods done on the bird.  Added a heater (the Y pipes recommended work great).  Nice to feel heat coming out now in the cabin.  Not the best looking unit, but very functional. Also added a Belite angle of attack indicator.  Now just need to get her up and calibrated.

Larry,  Where did I see that kind of heater advertised?  Does it have an internal fan?  How much does it weigh?  BTUs?  EDMO

If you can stand to add 13 lbs under the IP, or mount this under or behind seats, then I have a new-in-box Danhart dual blower hot water heater with defrosters that is supposed to run you out of a ragtop jeep.  Got $200 in it, but think they are about twice that high now.  Oh, but this might draw too much power for the 2-smokes!  Sorry!  Now I am wondering if I could take one heavy blower motor off of it, or just take both off and use the light weight low-draw fan?   EDMO

Just now saw these posts, sorry for the delay.  Got this at Amazon after a friend had success with it in his Flightstar.  Nice little unit. It does have an internal fan.  No BTU ratings available unfortunately.  Does a decent job.
