Interesting set up indeed! I have been using a simular process, only I use a Heat gun which puts out about 3 times the heat, and poke it in same place, takes just a few min and can feel the warm air comming out the front. Charlie H

adding an air conditioner to my 6A!
Yeah, it gets pretty darn toasty here in TN, too, especially under a sunny
tip-up! I liked the AC idea also- all I'm missing is the
compressor/evaporator/condensor & environmentally responsible freon

Mark,
I thought I was cheap, but you got me there. We used to use 2 100W trouble
lites stuffed inside the cowling on all the time winters in OR, and they keep
temp right at 60+. Don't use the ones with the plastic guard, however, they
DO melt... This winter I had an extra oil-filled radiator not using, so
planted that baby on a shop creeper, and the height works out perfectly, easy to
roll in and out of just behind the ex pipes. At the lowest setting it's using
about 300W and keeps inside cowling toasty with a blanket on top. No waiting
for warmup when flying time arrives, either... I do feel bad about the the
$300/mo hangar having to absorb the power bill...

I thought the RV's already had AC, just open the vents, open the

throttle, and pull back on the stick for 10 min or so and it should
start to cool off just fine

Keep in mind that heat guns and hair driers can make sparks...
