| Subject: | Re: Has your bubble canopy fogged up????? |
I'm currently waiting on the FAA for airworthiness inspection so the
only fogging I have experienced is while working inside the cabin with
the canopy down. In motion, I suspect that the fresh air vents will take
care of most or all fogging except for very cool / cold days. If it
becomes a problem, my plan is to remove my forward top skin after
marking where the canopy touches it. A couple of inches inside that line
I will drill a series of 3/8" diameter holes evenly spaced to allow the
electronics cooling fan to vent the warmed air up to the bubble in
front. I installed a big cpu muffin fan (~ 75 cfpm) in the support from
the bottom of the panel to the firewall early on. It keeps the area
under the forward top skin from becoming a greenhouse-like heat dome. I
figure that warm air can be put to good use as needed later on.

I chose not to use a contactor as well. It partially depends on how much current
you will need in the cabin, but if you're using the 3300 with its' 20 amp alternator,
you'll need to be a little conservative on the current required anyway
when you select your avionics, lights, etc; There are lots of switches available
that will meet your requirements. I also used a 20 or 30 amp circuit
breaker/switch. In the Aeroelectric book, there is a schematic for the Jab 3300
in which a contactor is not used.

I did some flying this winter with OAT's in the mid to upper 30's and on the ground
during taxi is where I experienced canopy fogging. In-flight, I had no problems
with the fog clearing up even though I only have the one hole for heat
in the lower firewall. I bought a 100W 12VDC portable car de-froster unit that
plugs into a cigarette lighter for taxiing. I sit it on top my panel until ready
for takeoff when I un-plug and stow it. It is a very light unit and only uses
the equivalent power of a landing light. Picture attached.

| Subject: | Re: Has your bubble canopy fogged up????? |
I have flown for two Wisconsin winters now and many times it's been way
below freezing and sometimes below zero. The canopy does fog up a little
bit (usually on the side, not so much in front) but I open my fresh air
vents (while I taxi and do my run up) and that keeps it to a minimum. Just
before take off I close the fresh air vents and pull on cabin heat and that
takes care of any fog that might have developed. Like Larry has mentioned,
I also carry a microfiber towel, but seldom have to use it. Like David
mentioned, I also purchased a portable car defroster but never had to use
it.

Yes, well...I did checkout the flight schedule. $300 RT and think that includes
a tour of the Kennedy's. The more I look into resurrecting one myself (an engine,
that is), the less intimidating it seems and the more I feel like going for
it. Is this 3 full days, Fri-Sun?
