Now for a question of my own. I'm considering where I should put the
NACA vent that will feed the eyeball vents that I'm installing in the
overhead panel. I have a fairly large vent with a 2" opening for the
feed tubing. Would the intake be effective if installed somewhere in
the vicinity of the battery, starboard side, behind the luggage tray,
just above flap level, or maybe even below flap level? Would it be
possible to locate it underneath the fuselage?
Hey Jeff,
I will be placing a NACA vent intake in the tail, just behind the rear
bulkhead and below the lowest rib. Then I will use 2" scat tubing to feed a
channel
(1"X4") formed around a wooden board, removed, then epoxied to the top of the
fuselage to feed two eyeball vents in the center overhead console. I got this
idea from Bob Berube at FlightCrafters in Florida. I'll send you a couple of
pix directly. I also have a NACA vent on each side of the aircraft just forward
of the doors below the windscreen feeding two other eyeball vents. I hope
this helps.
