They work fine if adjust them just with a bit tender!
It is very easy if same time have a bit imagination that (The Knob) is a
sweet clitoris. Do not broke it!
Maybe that (ability to use those Naca vents with Russian vertical
spiral) is deep inside in a Finnish nature: we have lived thousands of
years just west from Russia and our borderline is about 1000 miles long.

PS: if honest during the building phase I hated them. But there were so
many things I would have liked to do otherway or change. But I had not
competence to do so. And did not want to use even more money. Hey I had
a complete aircraft kit they said! So I decided to go on with those
vents. And using them gently they have worked just fine. If I remember
correct these are new ones ' I also did broke them when trying them
first time...and that is why I strenghtened them some how ' maybe by
using large area washers or so.

That's why we dislike them. Cheep, crapy, miserable adjustments. They
broke the first time I attempted to open/close them (thankfully, before
they were installed). And they are not repairable. So they went into
the dust bin and I bought outrageously expensive but completely
functional vents (Ultimate Ventilators) from ACS.

Rebuilding the instrument panel and working on a major weight reduction
program for The Little Dragon Lady. She has to loose about 50 lbs
(that's 3 Stone 8 for you guys in the UK). And the CG has to go back
into the middle of the range. A new, light weight, low power, panel
along with removal of the big alternator should take care of most of
that.
