I am surprised there is no cabin heat in the build, don't folk find it necessary in the UK winter? I tend to fly all year. Is there a standard way of implementing it? My C42 passes air through a valve from outside through an enclosure around the exhaust. I saw somewhere talk of collecting air from behind the water radiator but it not being effective. Also someone had had some cable activated shutters made.

Regards Graeme

Graeme, In 8 yrs/800hrs of Europa flying, including going up to the North
Cape (71 deg N) I have never felt the need. If you are in comfortable out
of wind outdoor clothing you will be comfortable or too hot (if sun out) in
the Europa. The firewall is permanently warm for keeping feet OK! Regards,
