Bob,
Try putting a small VGs infront of each of the entry-ramps to the "knee
level" vents; these should then create an inflow that is more than
adequate.

Subject: Europa-List: Europa- Fresh air vents
I'm progressing well on my second Europa (kit 494) and exploring the
options for cockpit fresh air.
My existing Europa has the plastic adjustable NACA duct type air
inlets by pilot and passenger's knees, but these are not particularly
effective.
I have heard of and seen a number of roof entry fresh air systems
which I gather are very effective, but I recall reading somewhere that
cutting the roof can compromise the strength of the cockpit module.
All (UK) LAA approvable suggestions gratefully received.
Thanks
