They are not very expensive and are readily available. See the attached ebay link. A google search showed plenty of suppliers on both sides of the pond. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/CK-TOOLS-T3744-190mm-AIRCRAFT-CABLE-WIRE-ROPE-CUTTER_W 0QQitemZ180478517950QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_Hand_Tools_Equipment?hash=item2a05 5ba2be regards, Mike ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 04:04:57 AM PST US From: "Remi Guerner" Subject: Europa-List: Naca Vent Position David, I do not know the factory recommanded position. For the position of the vents on my own airplane, see attached picture. They are very effective but the pilot side vent used to have a tendency to recycle exhaust gases at high angle of attack with the engine at low power, so I had to close it before approach and landing! I had to extend the exhaust pipe two inches to solve that problem. So I believe a higher and/or more forward position of the vents would have been better. I hope that helps.

Duncan Mcf. ----- Original Message ----- From: Steade To: europa-list@matronics.com Sent: Monday, March 08, 2010 2:22 PM Subject: Europa-List: Naca Vent Position I'm trying to find the recommended position for the Naca fresh air vents in the front fuselage side. I understand that at one time the factory recommended a position and produced a drawing. From an approval point of view with the LAA it would help considerably if I stayed with this recommendation. If anyone has access to this drawing then a copy would be greatly appreciated.

However, I should have said "I'm lying on my gut in the back of the aircraft, with my head about 1/2inch below the ceiling, and pocket change and hand tools sliding out of my pockets........* Now I need to clip about 1/16inch off the end of the cable. Do I drag in the high-speed drill and diamond disc, manage the cut without fraggling the ends or setting fire to the composite, then drag in the vacuum and seek out the tiny burnt ends?....or do I reach into my pocket, grip the cutter. save the 19 pieces of 1/16inch clippings in my other hand, and put the cutter away? Ferg PS: Whacking a chisel onto a steel plate don't cut the mustard 'back here', especially for 1/16inch clip. * I made a platform (which will eventually be a folding bed base) from the throttle stand through the headrests, span the back space and cantilever across the D-panel bottom to two supporters on either side of the fuselage at the canoe-join level. .. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Other Matronics Email List Services ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post A New Message europa-list@matronics.com UN/SUBSCRIBE http://www.matronics.com/subscription List FAQ http://www.matronics.com/FAQ/Europa-List.htm Web Forum Interface To Lists http://forums.matronics.com Matronics List Wiki http://wiki.matronics.com Full Archive Search Engine http://www.matronics.com/search 7-Day List Browse http://www.matronics.com/browse/europa-list Browse Digests http://www.matronics.com/digest/europa-list Browse Other Lists http://www.matronics.com/browse Live Online Chat! http://www.matronics.com/chat Archive Downloading http://www.matronics.com/archives Photo Share http://www.matronics.com/photoshare Other Email Lists http://www.matronics.com/emaillists Contributions http://www.matronics.com/contribution ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- These Email List Services are sponsored solely by Matronics and through the generous Contributions of its members.
