I seem to be having some problems with my small prop pitch rotor freezing up When the temperature is below freezing. I'm assuming it's a two part problem. First, water must be getting in somehow. Second, the water freezes when its cold. My rotor installation looks like the fifth picture at http://www.k7nv.com/proppitch/id36.htm So, first, how do I manage to reduce water ingress? Second, how do I manage to heat the rotor? I don't have 120v at the tower And it is about 400 feet from the house.
