Does anybody flying have a schematic or a description on how they created a defroster for the wind screen?

I put two computer fans in the glare shield…live in Utah and have only had to use them once, about a week ago, worked great.
They also help dissipate heat generated from the panel.
Sorry, no pictures.

This is something that I'd recommend for ALL builders to do, on all RV10's for heat dissipation reasons alone. It gets hot under there and your avionics will probably last longer and perform better if you keep it cool.
The other one is cutting the holes for the Duckworks lights. You don't have to even use lights, but for resale and construction reasons I would recommend that basically every builder cut the hole in each wing if they think there will EVER be a chance they sell the plane. Most buyers would be used to seeing wing lights and they will want them, and cutting them later will wreck the paint. So just cut them initially and then decide later what to put in there. The wing is still the only location that doesn't come with some sort of compromise.

In deciding what fan to place there I think I searched NewEgg.com for various fan choices. I based my decision on Fan size and Fan CFM. I think I settled on dual “Tornado” fans as they put out significantly more CFM than the standard fans. The down side to the Tornado fans is that they are louder than standard computer fans but not nearly as loud as the big fan mounted forward of the firewall so fan noise was not an concern to me.

Yeah, you won't hear either fan, once the engine is running. 
I would get some that push some good CFM. My original attempt
was using a small fan...maybe 1.5" square...it sucked. Then I
went to some larger (maybe 60mm?) fans that do a pretty good
job. I bought some that blow pretty good. If I were starting
from scratch, I'd likely look at 80mm fans if they fit well.
On very cold days, until I get off the ground and heat
flowing good, I can still get some frost on the upper corners
of the windshield near the visors. Would be nice to have
just a bit more flow than what I have now, but at this point
it's acceptable for me.
I was shocked during my flyoff to look at my GRT EIS in the
panel and see that it was reading something like 110F, and
it was only 10-20F outside. With front heat coming out
under the panel, you're really going to want heat exhaustion
for the panel area YEAR ROUND. In the winter it'll do
defrost as a bonus. No need for fancy defrost circuits
added to your heater....just pump hot under-panel air up.

For those who couldn't view David's post, I've clipped out the text
below so you can see it. Looks like a great way to go if you can
find a good mounting for it. At $6, the price isn't bad at all.
My advice is that when you do find a fan you like, buy a couple
of spares for down the road. I paid $9 or so for mine, and I cracked
one on install. So I used a spare right away. Once the bearings
start to go....years down the road...it will be nice to just have
a couple on hand to swap in so that all the holes line up.
Not as critical for the square fans because they're pretty standard,
but for a blower like this, you may want to not have to search for
a match.

Those fans are 23 CFM max. That is not a significant amount of air.
I think each of my 80 or 92 cm fans were above 100 CFM.
Here’s an 80 mm fan with 84 CFM

Robin,
One of them there needs its own alternator
By the way, i have a certified avionics fan and it pushes half the CFMs at twice the amp draw of a computer fan... These things are amazing.

I think my certified avionics fan converts most of its power into noise. I actually pulled the fuse on it and won't replace until right before first flight; otherwise, it's really annoying when I have the master switch on.

You need to think about where you mount the fans as some avionics will bump into the back half bulkhead which will preclude mounting the fan in that area AFTER you have cut a large hole in the dashboard. For instance: Mounting a Garnim 430W or a SL-40 in the middle stack will cause them to run out of room on their backside necessitating a cut-out in the back half bulkhead and prematurily hitting any fans mounted in that area. Don't ask how I know.

I think my certified avionics fan converts most of its power into noise. I actually pulled the fuse on it and won't replace until right before first flight; otherwise, it's really annoying when I have the master switch on.

Robin,
One of them there needs its own alternator
By the way, i have a certified avionics fan and it pushes half the CFMs at twice the amp draw of a computer fan... These things are amazing.
Lenny
[quote="robin(at)PaintTheWeb.com"]Those fans are 23 CFM max. That is not a significant amount of air.
I think each of my 80 or 92 cm fans were above 100 CFM.

Here�s an 80 mm fan with 84 CFM

For those who couldn't view David's post, I've clipped out the text
below so you can see it.� Looks like a great way to go if you can
find a good mounting for it.� At $6, the price isn't bad at all.
My advice is that when you do find a fan you like, buy a couple
of spares for down the road.� I paid $9 or so for mine, and I cracked
one on install.� So I used a spare right away.� Once the bearings
start to go....years down the road...it will be nice to just have
a couple on hand to swap in so that all the holes line up.
Not as critical for the square fans because they're pretty standard,
but for a blower like this, you may want to not have to search for
a match.
