Subject: stiffening the canopy and defrost fans
Norman: I read your recent post on the list on the captioned topics.
I was just wondering if you gave thought to just cutting some slots in the top
of the canopy frame for natural warm air updraft from behind the panel rather
than using the defrost fans as you have done? I suppose that things could drop
into that kind of slot and get lost.
Also, did you give consideration to using the inexpensive personal computer fans
for the defrosters?

a nose wheeler
Hi Larry and the List,
The fans are inexpensive computer fans. When selecting them you have to be carefull
that they have the right kind of bearing in them to be mounted horizontal.
The dealer should be able to look this up in one of those big books behind the
counter. Most small fan motors are designed to be verticle and would wear out
in short order when mounted flat.
Mine are mounted quite far forward to take advantage of the warm air that is behind
the panel. They have stainless steel screen covers that nothing can fall
into. They blow a significant amount of air. I have two and they are lined up
with each occupants vision.
I live on the west coast of Canada where it is habitually moist. Window defogging
is some thing that I use in my cars every day that it rains. I keep air moving
over the glass whenever it is wet outside. Even in the depth of winter I never
put all the heat to my feet. I see the main mission of my aircraft as a XC
machine so I think I will see more rain than most. Nothing worse than constantly
having to wipe the plexi just to see out. Keep warm air moving accross the
plexi and it will stay dry and clear.
I have major doubts that there will be enough heat to call them defrosters. Lets
just call them defoggers. There is no way they could melt off a covering of
ice in flight but I could be wrong. I am not flying yet nor do I plan on testing
this theory.
Perhaps some one could host two pictures for me?

Hi Listers, I just scored a 5 ton hydralic engine hoist a few days ago and wanted
to offer it out to any RV/Rocket builders in my area. This thing is huge. It
has two different lifting arms for the front, one for low clearance and a regular
straight one. Actuation is by a hand pump deal simular to a bottle jack
but much bigger. I've also got a selection of chains and straps. The whole thing
pins together so it fits inside my Expedition no problem. Would go inside a
mini van with no seats.
The only thing I ask for is an hour of dual if you fly before me but I will recipricate
and provide an hour dual for you if I beat you to first flight. For two
hours I will deliver and retrieve the hoist.
Please plan your engine installation to limit use to a one week period if you are
doing it in CASCAR's racing season because I need quick access to it when the
heat is on. Winter months it can go out for longer periods.

Sorry John, Colorado is a bit far to drive and this thing is big. Shipping
would cost more than renting one from your area. Norman

| Subject: | 1 1/2" Beauty Ring |
--> Rocket-List message posted by: "Norman" <nhunger@sprint.ca>
I'm seeking a 1.5" beauty ring for the top of my glairsheild. I have 1.5" round
holes there for my defogger fans to blow onto the canopy. My glair sheild is
covered by 1/4" high density foam then a layer of black auto upholstery. I have
to make a round cut out for the fans to blow through and I would like to drop
a piece of trim. Any suggestions?
I see in ACS page 120 PN# 10350-6 the aluminum ducting flanges. These are sort
of the right idea but I was hoping to find something a whole bunch smaller. These
flanges would have me running off to buy a belt sander to file them down to
1/3 their stock size. Please help!
