Hi,
It is very cold in Quebec; it can go minus 40 degrees sometimes
Two reasons to remove the heater box:
A 1 7/8 diameter 4-into-1 exhaust system is definetely the "hot setup" for VW hot rodding
If you want a low noise cabin you have to blank all holes in you firewall; if you bring hot air from the engine compartment, you always bring a lot of noise with that heat
P.S.: I was very pleased with the cabine low noise after the careful installation of sound attenuating material and every holes small or big closed
At cruise speed: 3200 R.P.M. in 3rd gear , you can have a normal conversation
For heating i have a freshly overhaul VW gaz heater, give heat enough even with a window open

I was thinking the same thing. The jack stands look to be the same.

Helio Courier planes are awesome. Amazed how well they perform. Rode in one last summer.

I was just going to reply the same thing with that and the Super Cub. Able to land & T/O either on a postage stamp.Louis, just amazing work. My A & P friends have some of those same skills, but their shops are no where near as clean and organized as yours!
It drives me crazy trying to help them. They know exactly where every last thing is in a pile of stuff, but if I can't see it, it may as well not be there!One thing missing in your toy box though . . . where's your ice bike?

the helio isan awsomeplane yet it does have limitations most notably that gear reduction motor with short overhaul intervals also the origional planes did not have the power to overcome the drag from slattts and flaps to do a go aound on a missed approach this info comes from an old helio pilot abit more hp would have made it a real preformer. ramomne eventuaaly retired the helios for 206's as they made more money.

i have seen a few they are reserved for some of the larger air taxies. the turbin beaver seems to be a better bang for the buck as the porter is kind of like a skyvan a nich plane it will make money in some ways but out of nome they eat up too much revinue stuffing the tanks full of fuel. and why am i ur the old lady is on a benge and i don't want to be around the house my fuse is getting too short.i will try to crash for a couple of hours here at the shop. i keep reminding her that some of us can hold and keep a job. back to planes the real money maker in freight here is a casa 212 even the twin otters cant make as much money as the casa can.
