Your thought please

Post by WillJr »

Hello Y'all

I'd like to find a better cabin heat control box than the stock one on my friend '52B. It doesn't shut off completely, doesn't distribute heat nicely, and the dump vent when heat is off is a little small for the larger volume of air from the Lycoming 180. I don't have access to a lot of options to look at and so I'm asking for ideas please.

Thanks
