The summers don't get much hotter than here in Florida. I initially
built-in the NACA ducts at knee level as per the plans........almost
worthless. Much later I discovered the Aircraft Spruce "Ultimate
Vents", which I placed in the lower corners of the windscreen, on each
side. Fantastic!!!! They can be directed to blow on your upper torso
and face, from a whisper to a tornado. They really work!!! And the
best part is that they can be installed in a few minutes AFTER you've
completed your build, without messing up your paint job or your interior
upholstery.

I'm happy with the ultimate vents I placed above the knee, so they are
just clear of the instrument module. Seems like the lightest and easiest
to install of just about any of the ideas out there.

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
