    Any headset static from the cushion? I installed a USB port and use (supposedly) shield cables and get static.

    Cheers
    I never noticed any noise in the system.

    I’ve never had static issues with this Stratus USB port. But I did with cigarette lighter plug in type.

    Maybe I can use the left exhaust bank to provide another heat source. I have a 100hr service interval coming up and will investigate.
    Gordon’s wife asked if there was a heater upgrade for the EX2.When the EX3 box showed up at the house his wife asked what’s that. He said that the heater upgrade and it come with a new tail number😂. He put heater upgrade rev1 under the horizontal.

    Just a quick follow up.

    Bought a heated car seat cushion (12V, plugs into a cigarette liter socket) and a set of heated gloves.

    Both work surprisingly well!

    Of course now the weather has changed and warmer days but I'll be ready for next winter.

    Dan,

    Out of curiosity what temps are you fly at? I’m flying my FX3 in MN down to 5 degrees without issue.

    Winter temps when I will fly are generally 10 to 20F.

    The EX-2/FX-2 have just the one heater outlet on the floor in front of the stick.

    I fly with a friend that has a PA-12 and he is also cold. So I guess CC just updated the heat some on the EX/FX-2 from the original PA designs.
