Living & flying in Wisconsin I want to make sure I have a heating system that will keep me warm so I can fly in the winter months. Midwest Build Center came up with a mod to use the liquid cooling system to supply warm cabin air via a radiator mounted above the pilot’s feet. Hopefully it works well. The 1st picture you can see that I rotated the outlet on the back of the engine to get me a straight path to the radiator mounted on the bottom of the cowling. The blue hose in the pictures is for the cockpit heating.
Nice solution.
Will there be any heat controls? How will you isolate the cabin radiator for summer flying?

There are 2 different controls. There is a valve that you can see in the pictures that will control the amount of liquid flowing into the heat exchanger in the cabin. I need to hook a push/pull cable to it. My dash already has a place for it. Then there is a variable speed control for the fan mounted above the heat exchanger. This also is already in place on my dash.
