Anyone out there ever tried to set up a turbo or p with heat exchanger type heat in lieu or in addition to the combustion model?
never tried this, but the P210 uses heat off the exhaust thru a heat exchanger. Worked fine down to -30 or so in my experience. Simple and lightweight. I wonder why Cessna didn't change to this on the later models?? The C&D heater works well though.
