I noticed that on most single or two-seater planes the headset connectors are behind the seats. What's the benefit of that location versus having the connectors on or near the instrument panel in front of the pilot? Thanks, Rob

Can someone suggest a low-current, light-weight, inexpensive 12 volt fan to use in the defrost branch of the cabin heat line for clearing up a windscreen while still on the ground, when ram air from the prop may not amount to much? thanks
