I have seen many attempts to bring
defrosting heat into the Rotorway cabin. The method that comes
with the kit may not provide as much heat flow as you might desire.
To remove the condensation from the cabin windscreen and doors
requires heat and adequate air flow. Bob Kearbey made this simple
heat muff that has a slot open toward the engine to allow air
to be drawn in around the bare exhaust header and through the
ductwork to the defroster vents. The air is then forced through
the system and up to the wind screen by a variable speed marine
bilge blower.
The photo is of Bob Kearbey showing
off his very effective exhaust heat muff. It cleared the fogged
wind shield in no time.
The photo below is my
former student Jeff's solution to parking his Rotorway 162F outside.
He cut the top off a soda can, painted it and attached a Remove
Before Flight flag on the end to remind him. This cover keeps
rain, bugs, and anything else out of the exhaust pipe.
