writes: clip all the crap What I do here is to put a sprinkler on the roof and run it every time the roof heats up. It oversprays on three or four sides (depends on hard I turn it on) of my plane construction shed and as there are no gutters, waters the gardens around it as well. If the wind is blowing it around, I have to close the windows on one or two sides, but it's still the best cooling system for the price I made it for: 1 old sprinkler found in my neighbours shed $0.00 1 garden hose from my neighbours back yard $0.00 At least on the farm, the water is available to do this without any problems from neighbours or councils...... Hope this helps, Peter On really hot and sunny days that helps but not so much when its just 90 degrees and 90 percent humidity with broken clouds. I just love those daily showers that cool things off for about 10 minutes before the sun comes back out and produces a first quality steam bath.

Big John Point of the sword I put an airconditioner into the wall of the garage a couple of years ago and it has helped a lot. The problem with it is the garage is not insulated and it must be run overnight to bring the temp down and hold it most of the day. In the current situation that would not have helped since I was working in the greenhouse doing some staining and finishing on some doors. It is empty this time of year and is the only place I had enough room to work. I have a couple of big fans but could not use them without causing problems with the finish. Just have to wear long sleves, grin, and bear it. Bob Reed www.kisbuild.r-a-reed-assoc.com (KIS Builders Site) KIS Cruiser in progress...Slow but steady progress....

With all the money that is being spent on an airplane, why not spring for just a little more an put AC in for the shop? Never quit again because of the temperature, have control over pot times, and I'm sure there are a few other good reasons. Now that I have it, I'll never have another shop without it. Spoilt', ya know! g Life is to short, too be miserable while you are having fun! Got air in the shop ready to start welding the fuselage of the Pegazair any day now. |

That was Livingstone Zambia October - November 1973/74!!! Next 9 months you could guarantee rainless days and nights. The 115 with 100% is close but how the hell do you get 105% humidity? "super-saturated solution". Really. |

How about one of the new miniature turbine engines used on model
aircraft. Duct it so the exhaust would feed directly into the carb of the main engine on take off and shut the turbine off for cruise. These cost about 1500 bucks now and weigh about 10 lbs. |
