They're also quite heavy and way over powered for this application. A small

Not to mention the fans are virtually ALL built into the heater
assembly, and being squirel cages, are useless outside the case.

Or try your local car wreckers. The heater fans are quite powerfull in many
models and run quite happily on 12 volts with hot air as well.

Hope this helps,

Can someone suggest a low-current, light-weight, inexpensive 12 volt fan

use in the defrost branch of the cabin heat line for clearing up a
windscreen while still on the ground, when ram air from the prop may not
amount to much? thanks
