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 ----- Original Message ----- From: Tom Martin To: rocket-list@matronics.com Sent: Thursday, May 22, 2008 7:38 AM Subject: RE: Rocket-List: Cockpit cooling 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.

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 Checked by AVG.
