Re: flight report
Jim,
The carb spider is not a good place for measuring carb temp. The spider splits the air/fuel mixture into 4. If your using a MA3SPA carb, there is a plug in the throat where the sensor goes.

Re: flight report
The standard installation for a carburated engine is to have two heat exchangers. There is a reason for this, and it has worked pretty successfully for thousands of aircraft.

Re: flight report
Mike,
I did have a carb temp sensor, that you helped me design, but it was not robust enough to take the vibration etc. wires were too small gauge.
No water, just finished annual and had drained all

Re: flight report
Sam,
I have one muff for both. Muff has fresh air inlet and two out. One for cab heat and one for cabin heat. Works great as long as the heated carb air travels all the way through the muff. When

Re: flight report
Hey Kev!
Glad to hear you are safe and sound. I’ve rarely had carb ice but when temp and dew point come together it’s not good. And yes! It makes for a real good butt pucker.

Re: flight report
Good trip report. I got a question tho... what was the dewpoint? At that temp it would be real easy to get the carb to freeze but shouldn't freeze at high power. Your fuel doesn't have water in it

Re: flight report
Fun stuff, eh Kevin?
I'm trying to get a handle on your cab heat and cabin heat setup. How about sending a few photos? You have two heat muffs right? There should be one for cabin heat and one for

Re: Torpedo heaters - epoxy contamination?
Carbon monoxide is never our friend. It bonds to the red corpuscles blocking them from moving oxygen.
For a better alternative surf up ‘ Infrared tube heater gas ‘

Re: Torpedo heaters - epoxy contamination?
Charlie, thanks.
I am considering a Kerosene heater to keep me and the hangar warm, not much epoxy work, but the project is not painted so is there threat of some contamination on composite

Re: Torpedo heaters - epoxy contamination?
Like propane or kerosene ?
Propane produces a lot of water vapor, this can react with epoxy cure agents to produce amine blush on the surface of your laminate. Amine blush can be removed by scrubbing

Is there a problem in using Torpedo heaters in workshop/ hangar while working on composite airplane projects?
Thanks
