| Subject: | Controlling defrost fans |
I have a pair of 1.5"x1.5" fans (Radio Shack 273-240) mounted forward of the instrument
panel on my 6A slider - think about the intersection of the support bulkhead
parallel and forward of the instrument panel and the ribs that point aft
that support the top of the instrument panel in three places.
I am wondering if a straight on-off switch is sufficient or should I put in a rheostat
to control the fan speed? KISS would dictate that a simple on-off switch
would work - but has anyone out there wished for a half-speed?
Here on the DelMarVa peninsula - I'm certain that I'll need it on a regular basis
Thanks,
Ralph

A rheostat probably has the same numbers of wires but you can turn it.
Hardly seems harder and it does offer flexibility.

Ralph, I have a pair of 4" fans mounted in the top skin forward of the
instrument panel to blow on W/S of my 6A slider. No need for speed control.
Maybe the larger fans turn lower RPM. They are similar to cooling fans in a
computer tower.
BTW I use them in the summer to pull hot air from behind the panel and help
cool the avionics.

I doubt that anything more than an on off switch would be needed. I
installed a fan in mine but have not needed it. Enough heat develops under
the panel that just having the opening in there has been sufficient. I park
in a hangar however so if you need to seriously defrost, than a simple on/
off switch would be all you would need.
My opinion of course.

| Subject: | RE: ifr props, was IFR GPS requirements |
Glen, apparently the reference is in FAR part 23.867. It says as follows:
Federal Aviation Regulation
Part 23 AIRWORTHINESS STANDARDS: NORMAL, UTILITY, ACROBATIC, AND COMMUTER
CATEGORY AIRPLANES
Subpart D--Design and Construction
Electrical Bonding and Lightning Protection
Sec. 23.867
[Electrical bonding and protection against lightning and static
electricity.]
(a) The airplane must be protected against catastrophic effects from
lightning.
(b) For metallic components, compliance with paragraph (a) of this section
may be shown by--
(1) Bonding the components properly to the airframe; or
(2) Designing the components so that a strike will not endanger the
airplane.
(c) For non-metallic components, compliance with paragraph (a) of this
section may be shown by--
(1) Designing the components to minimize the effect of a strike; or
(2) Incorporating acceptable means of diverting the resulting electrical
current so as not to endanger the airplane.
Far part 23.1 states the following:
Federal Aviation Regulation
Part 23 AIRWORTHINESS STANDARDS: NORMAL, UTILITY, ACROBATIC, AND COMMUTER
CATEGORY AIRPLANES
Subpart A--General
Sec. 23.1
Applicability.
[(a) This Part prescribes airworthiness standards for the issue of type
certificates, and changes to those certificates, for airplanes in the
normal, utility, acrobatic and commuter categories.]
(b) Each person who applies under Part 21 for such a certificate or change
must show compliance with the applicable requirements of this Part.
Soo...I would not think this applied to experimentals with the special
airworthiness category.

Wouldn't the variable speed or rheostat be a good source for noise problems
in the old headset? Best just use an on/off switch. Those fans are so
quiet, who cares if they run full tilt, but they should be able to be turned
off in case amps need to be shed, small amount of amps, though.

How about GM make "ON STAR" and airbags for planes? Ha-ha
You could call and ask for cheapest av gas or good hotel on a cross country.
Or give a heads up to the family of your ETA. No doubt in the next decade or two
we'll have this for GA. However with gas costing what it does, I wounder if
GA will exist.

Hmmm,
Three comments,
1. Congrats Doug, cool plane, now comes the work... Paying for fuel...
2. It is amazing to the see the RPM stability on the plane with a CS vs the
one without...
3. Snug formation on a first flight isn't all that different from having two
or more souls on board. Something to think about at least.

| Subject: | fuel injection for your 912 or 914 |
I have seen may people attempt to do fuel injection, but at www.experimentalfuelinjection.com , we do it right. First off, fuel injection requires 8-9amps no matter who is making the set up. With this in mind, the only way to properly run fuel injection is with a 55 amp external alt. Our set ups are simply the best. We offer 4 different configurations of 912's and 5 different configurations of 914's. From Intercooled direct port fuel injection, to truly redundant set ups on fuel and ignition, we have it all.

Ralph, I have a pair of 4" fans mounted in the top skin forward of the
instrument panel to blow on W/S of my 6A slider. No need for speed control.
Maybe the larger fans turn lower RPM. They are similar to cooling fans in a
computer tower.
BTW I use them in the summer to pull hot air from behind the panel and help
cool the avionics.
