Cooling Fan for Electric Motor Between Flights

[Shug Emery]

This lil' fan seems to help get the motor cooler faster and me in the air sooner.
Travelon Fan available on Amazon.com

Ingenious.   Maybe create a shroud to fit front of plane to blow air though it.

Assuming the motor reaches some temperature during the flight and doesn't get any hotter it really doesn't need to be cooled between flights.  If it's temperature is rising during the whole flight you probably have a problem.   Not sure about this so you expert electric motor folks need to set me straight.

That's a cute little fan, Shug. Do they have an IC powered version?  Steve

I'll bet that fan would fly a baby clown. Does your front firewall have any cooling air holes in it?

No holes in the cowl front. The motor seems plenty exposed so mainly I'm doing this to get several flights in a row as I am out solo. Seems to me it is best to let the motor cool between flights but this is just my logic. Like IC engines after a flight, the electrics get pretty hot too.
Seems to cut down my wait to get back up in the air is all I am trying to show. 5 flights then home for other things.
