Hello all,
I appreciate the discussion this thread had yielded. So, in my case I have a
ram air NACA duct in the lower cowl which provides more than sufficient airflow
to the two eyeball vents located in the lower portion of the center instrument
panel. The challenge I have, as previously mentioned, is getting the air to
exit the cockpit in order to relieve the pressure which causes excessive bowing
of the door frames. Unfortunately, the standoffs on the D panel arent
sufficient
on their own, and I currently have just the pax door seal on at the moment.
If I understand the latest analysis by Area-51 an exit near the horizontal
stabilator
may do the trick. This may also require longer standoffs on my D panel
if that becomes the flow constraint.
I am also interested in hearing from Pete who has a reverse NACA installed just
aft of the doors on the top of the canopy. Noise and weather concerns
notwithstanding,
does this solution get the job done?
Thanks everyone for providing their time and energy to this question.
