After much thought, and taking into consideration what comments I've received from fellow listers, I have decided on my cabin heat solution. I have talked to Don ( RV8 builder) at Aviacomp (503) 543-3986, whom manufactures all the heat/ vent ducting parts for Vans, as well as Cirrus, etc, etc., and he is going to modify the T duct (Van's p/n VA-175 Heat Duct Tee) which is just aft of the firewall, to include a selector valve that will allow me to direct the forward heat to go left, right or mix both. This will be a direct replacement for the non selector T valve, and will mate to the existing Vans VENT DL-102.4 flanges. This will allow me to control the left/right heat volume in the forward footwell area. In addition, Don will provide me with another selector valve, which I will install in the rear heat supply line, that will allow me to mix (divert) the aft heat to a duct for defog function This is a solution that allows me the most flexibility, with minimum weight and complexity (two additional control cables). Don will provide similar components for anyone else interested in a similar system, just give him a call.

Hi,
Would this be a good way to get heat up to a defroster? I know there has been some discussion on using computer fans to blow air on the windscreen. I have to admit I haven’t really looked that far ahead in the plans to know what provisions are incorporated.
