I got the heater for the water compartment of the motor all finished today. Today was the only forecast dry day in sight and I had to get under the motor home to finish it, when the parts I had ordered from Amazon didn't show up as scheduled I dug around in the shop and found one thing I needed. I checked online and Fred Meyer had the other piece I needed so off we went. Since Dairy Queen is right across the street we had to stop for a blizzard before heading home. The job went pretty good and I was also able to get the wiring for the inverter installed. I will mount and hook it up on the next dry day.
I found this motor with contra-rotating propellers on Amazon and thought I would give it a try. It came the other day and now I am trying to decide which plane to put it in. It is an interesting design, it is actually two motors. The front one drives the rear propeller but has a hollow shaft. The rear motor drives the front propeller with a shaft that goes through the hollow one. I saw one like this fly in Arizona and I was surprised how quiet it was. This one is smaller and turns faster so it will probably make more noise. Getting the heater going made it a good day, then Vera made pizza from scratch that turned out great and it was a perfect end to the day.
