We're just about finished with our homemade defroster-system, so I'm posting a few pics.
The basics are two computer-fans which have the same size as Vans flanged ducts, some airhose, hoseclamps, a flanged bulkhead penetration, and "Y" duct connection and a three flanged ducts.
On my first -7, we used only one computerfan but the airmass is alittle too low, so on this -7, we've installed two fans and connected their airflow. Hopefully that'll give more defroster-function.
Here's an overwiew:
The fans are mounted on each side of the hot air outlet by the FF:
Then, the two hoses are joined together:
Then through a couple of bulkheads:
And finally up towards the outlet:
Overhead the outlet, we've made a hole in the glareshield in the same size as the outlet.
The airflow will then clear a hole in front of the pilot (the plane has the right seat as pilot seat) enough for taxing and departure.
PS: wr're in the middle of wiring now, so the "wire-madness" will hopefully be done with soon...
