I think this is a very bad idea.  You turn an exhaust leak into carbon
monoxide coming into the cabin.

No different than any other air cooled aircraft engine heater system
Hans. They all work off the exhaust. And all air-cooled VW's for that

matter.

But why even take a small chance? We are still talking WATERCOOLED Rotary
here? If I have a hot liquid available there is no question what I use for
cabinheat! Even the oilcooler would be preferable to the exhaust!
I am flying plenty with exhaust heated cabinheat equipped aircraft, though I
am lucky that I hardly ever need it (A/A would be nice though!! :)). IF I
have to use it, already the smell I don't like!
