My EIS yesterday showed 61 F for the "unit" temp. I think that is
close to what the cabin temp is, at least behind the panel. I was
wearing a bulky down coat at first, but changed it for a simple vest-
type coat later on...more for the ability to move rather than
anything else. Besides, the sun was out and that got the cabin temp
up a bit. I'll take a thermometer along today and see what it is at
foot level and at other levels within the cabin. I've got to call FSS
and see if they know of any snow levels around lower Lower Michigan.
Richard Rabbers reported pretty much no-snow around Benton Harbor
area, and suggested heading north. I would think that lake effects
snow should be somewhere along Lake Michigan.

Lynn,
Went out for flight a while ago this AM .
OAT -13 C (9F )
Cabin temp flying 10 to 12 C ( 50 to 54 F )
So basically Heating give me approx a boost in cabin temps about
40 to 45F increase on a overcast day and not bone chilling but
still well below freezing.
Still on Monster tires in up to 8 inch snow. < snicker>
If i seal up a few more air leaks, surely I would add a few more
degrees to the cabin.
Oh and climb today with 220 lbs of me and 13gals gas was 1300 FPM
at worst in a 582 . 
Cruise speed at 500 agl seems to be about 86 -87 area at 6000 RPM
WOT i showed 101 MPH average.

Lynn, Damn that working well. And you got it all off a heat muff?
Shall we fire up the pot scrubber topic ? I assume they helped ?

Oh no, not the dreaded pot scrubbers again! Actually, I had taken
about 2/3's of the PS's out of the heat muffs....I figured I must
have stuffed 'em too full, as I wasn't getting the air flow that I
thought I should be getting. Along with stuffing them too full, I
also had originally installed some rigid aluminum baffles inside the
heat muffs, and I removed those as well. Taking some out seemed to
help, but the air flow is still pretty low. I might have too many
180's in my scat hoses. : )
Now remember that the 61 F was only the unit temp of the EIS, and
that may be elevated by the heat of the electronics inside the EIS
box. Somebody else that knows electronics, specifically this unit,
might be able to answer that one.

Unless your EIS was installed in the Merrimac I doubt it would generate
enough heat to be noticed. At one time the used to have small heat stoves
in electronic circuits to keep frequency crystals consistent. Even those
have all but gone.
I is more probable that the display light will give off more heat than the
EIS box. The new wide screen plasma television screens give off lots of
heat.
