Have you ever seen the carburettor heating system of some older light aircraft? Since its working principle is similar, that might become a source of inspiration in case you decide to make your WAI adjustable on-the-fly for a better all-year-round operation. Is there any space where you could fit an air-box that would allow you to blend the heated air with a colder airflow?
