 Posted: Sat Oct 02, 2010 4:16 pm Post subject: Rear heat - Sealing rear bulkhead |
 |
|
Flew a couple local guys from SE IA to Manhattan, KS today to pick up a Tri-Pacer. Coming back at 7500 ft, it was 28f. Guess winter is on it's way 
Couple questions.....
I get plenty of heat a the feet of the rear passengers. Has anyone made any type of defuser to re-direct the heat?
How about sealing off any drafts from the rear of the plane? Seemed like there was cool air coming from the rear to the front. I don't seem to have any air leaks around the doors.
btw... Aren't we blessed with a great cross country plane. I have about 100 hours since first flight on Memorial Day. Been to Atlanta a couple times, San Antonio once, Milwaukee once, Minneapolis once, home to Muscle Shoals, Al a couple times and all parts in between. Just have to get it ready to fly in the winter now.

When you say "I don't seem to have any air leaks around the doors." Check the baggage door. The door itself and the latch are not that solid. You may have a significant amount of air entering there.

I had a lot of cold air coming in from the tail cone before the
interior went in. The interior sealed it off to the point that it's
not an issue.
I split my heater so that the left side is dedicated to the windshield
and the right supplies the front and rear outlets. I've only barely
cracked the defrost once or twice--I'm sure it would melt the
windshield at full blast.
Even just having "half heat" to the cabin is plenty for us.
