Ed,

I think you misunderstood my sloppy shorthand
comment.

I agree with you - I was pointing out that *aircooled* heaters are
harder to do.   Clearly this is a substantial advantage
of liquid cooling.  OTOH, there are a lot of disadvantages
too.

Bill,
        Actually I found installing a small oil cooler in the cockpit as a
cabin heater using heated coolant fluid works just fine.  Plus you avoid
(it does occur)the all too real potential for carbon monoxide poisoning
from a exhaust leak into the traditional exhaust heater muff.
