RV-10 folks:
Has anyone here fabricated a duct to catch the heater bypass air and route it to the lower engine cowl exit, to save dumping it under the cowl? The purpose of this would be to lower the under cowl temps on these hot weather days.
Also, can bad things to happen to the exhaust system components if you simply block off the inlets to the pipe shrouds (the heat exchangers)? I'm looking to keep the firewall mounted EarthX battery as cool as possible in summer. I guess EarthX is about to come out with an insulated box too for help with this.
