Tom,
So the air comes in a hole, does the air flow into a duct at the hole or
after it comes thru the side of the fuselage? Just trying to picture
it. I like this idea more than installing NACAs on my new paint. Do
you have a pic or two?
Thanks,
Jim

I pick up my pilot air from a hole in the leading edge.
There is room to get an opening in the faring between the wing and the
fuselage. The air goes through a hole in the fuse and the hose then
goes up the back of the #2 bulkhead. There is lots of cool fresh air
from this location.

Hey Guys,
My cockpit air comes from a two inch scat going from a hole in the
upper rear baffle on the left/center side, same side as my oil cooler,
and then goes to a firewall mixer valve which allows heat muff air to be
mixed with it. My complaint is, this air is too warm on a day that is
75 degrees or warmer. I have a Naca vent under the right wing that
brings in cool outside air but it goes only to the rear seater. I would
like to change the front seat set up and leave the rear seat the way it
is. My question is, has anyone put a 2" hole in the forward horizontal
baffle, in front of number 2 cyl and pulled the air down and aft to the
mixer valve on the firewall? Or, has anyone just tied a scat hose along
the top of the engine from the aft baffle to the cowl opening in front
of number 2 cyl. in an effort to catch the air before it warms up.
My setup is similar to John Harmon's, and he told me years ago that it
works fine for him, so I assumed if it works in the Bakersfield desert,
it will work in Louisville. Perhaps my setup is not as similar to John's
as I think.
TIA,
Jim Stone
