What are the anecdotal reports on using engine coolant for cabin heat? I recall
---From long ago on many cars that the system worked awful, with a piece of
cardboard
covering the radiator a partial fix only. And those cars had a thermostat,
which the Rotax doesn't, and a full-time fan unlike cars today, but which
is the case of an airplane. Does it actually work at say 0F (-18C) outside temp
under an overcast?
