Dob boundry layer fans

[faulksy]

just about to fit some boundry layer fans. got the new fans and when i made my dew controller i already fitted a port so that i had speed control

the question is, were should the fans be fitted ?

i have marked the centre of the fan to be just above the top edge of the mirror. does anyone know any thing different?

thanks

Fans fitted and tested

Looks good Mike. Will be interested to see what difference they make. I’m often tempted to put some tiny ones on my 8” f8.

Will you run them continuously or just for a while before observing?

Fair play - nice job.  I'd welcome them on my Obsession, but I'm too much of a wuss to attempt drilling 😂

It amazes me the build quality of yours and other members woodworking me I cannot even saw straight. 

When I built my shed I measured and measured again before cutting angles ready for the roof none of the them are the same my son had to use off cuts to get the roof sloping right. 😁
