Paul,    Seeing the electric cooling fans on the Engineair
         reminds me of
            a Cirrus VK30 that ' ate / shredded ' its electric fans.  >

         One side of a double pole switch can be grounded, so that the
    fan motors
         are shunted. This locks the fans up real good. Center terminal
    is the
         fan, opposite terminal is the power.

    Lynn,  You'll need to run that one by me again.
    Thanks,    Dave Deffner

    We have a lot of Dave's Dave :)
    How about a paint schematic Lynn?

Here you are.
In the on (up) position the center and lower contacts are connected and
the fan motor is running.

With the switch in the off (down) position, the fan being turned by
airflow becomes a generator with the brushes shunted. The fan will
continue to turn, however, it will turn very slowly, as the current it
generates is in opposition to its normal direction of rotation.

Great job Lynn. You got a knack for it. I can hardly wait to see what you
do with Rhino.
