I know Ian Beadle (Renesis 6 port RV7) uses heated air from the back of
his water cooling radiator
and he has said that it works fine, but again he is in Perth Western
Australia where the temps never go below zero on the ground.

Steve, next time you talk to Ian please tell him I would
like to see his new airplane in a couple of weeks. Last time I was
out there he took me for a flight in his first 13B rotary powered
airplane :)

Hi Paul

I’ve just spoken with Ian Beadle and he would like to catch up in a
couple of weeks. Do you have dates when you will be in Perth?

Steve Izett

We are not sure. We are going to leave here (LAX) next Thursday at 10 PM
which is about 10 PM Perth time but on Friday. We will get to Melbourne
on Saturday morning around 11 AM I think. We will try to catch the train
to Perth. That takes three days. If we miss the train we may opt to fly
commercial or stay in Melbourne and or Adelaide for a few days and catch
the next train out of Adelaide.

I have applied for an Australian Security Clearance (Required. I already have an
Australian pilots license) so we might rent a C172 or what have you when we arrive
in Perth and do a little sight seeing within a couple of hundred
miles of Perth. We plan to drive up to Exmouth and back part of the time.
The rest is open schedule. Back to LAX Feb 23rd.
