BlurE Posted October 28, 2017 Posted October 28, 2017 Trying to understand a factory installed switch labled "cabin heat" seems to do nothing, although I can see there are wires attached. No apparent heat or voltage drop so I can't imagine an electric radiator. Nothing in the POH or maintenance manuals. (Flysynthesis) Can anyone please shed light on this mystery?
Kyle Communications Posted October 28, 2017 Posted October 28, 2017 usually a pipe from around the exhaust to heat air and the cable you pull opens a butterfly to let the heat into the cabin

I even wondered if it powered a fan or something - but no evidence of that. Got me stumped.
storchy neil Posted October 29, 2017 Posted October 29, 2017 Has small electric heater behind panel mounted to fire wall it could be black in couloir about 6"x6"x2" could have fan I think not should be up high Neil
BlurE Posted October 29, 2017 Author Posted October 29, 2017 I'll take a look. I would say it's either been removed, disconnected or is faulty as I would expect a measurable voltage drop which you switch something like that on. Was one fitted on your Storch Neil?
storchy neil Posted October 29, 2017 Posted October 29, 2017 Yes one fitted but was as handy as a hip pocket in a singlet very little volt drop Neil
