I enjoy flying in the winter and during a dawn takeoff from Elverum in Norwa y snow covered strip , the canopy totally iced over as we climbed out , we w ere able to use open DV panel to circle the field as the rising sun melted t he ice and restored full view.. Window needs to conform to shape of screen , Mould taken from exterior of screen before I laser cut the window aperture . The location is high enough so the ram air vent clears the door handle. And is as far forward as the slide rails will go against door frame . https://www.afeonline.com/shop/mecaplex-dv-panel-scoop.html?osCsid=6b2332a d4f6f025eb953f910786112fe Sent from my iPad > On 28 Jan 2021, at 08:03, graeme bird wrote: > > > Any suggestions on cockpit vents.

I am surprised that the NACA vents do not deliver copious quantities of fresh air I live in Australia (very hot) and have always found them to be very effective when made to correct dimensions , located appropriately and sized - I see I gave the wrong information for Peter Anson Engineering - hope this works: http://www.ansoneng.com/ He makes a nice selection of different NACA vents & ducting -------- 46 Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=501098#501098 ________________________________ Message 3 _____________________________________ Time: 05:22:54 PM PST US Subject: Europa-List: Re: Blocked Fuel Filters From: "Griffo" For the last 12 years (920 hrs)I have used Hengst fuel filters Hengst H102 WK Hengst H103 WK Benefits: Gauze filter medium Almost indestructible, completely leak proof, casing Clear casing for inspection Light weight.
