I have the one that Stein now sells. After you get the top fit, pull it off and
fit the overhead while the top is upside down on some sawhorses.
Use some of the rubber seal to seal the aft edge against the rear bulkhead. Install
2 of the scat tube flanges to the aft side of the bulkhead and add 2 naca
inlets to provide the air. You will get a bunch of air out of this configuration
even with all 4 vents open.

I have seen some door locks with the stock door handles that are about 2 inches
in front of the outside door handle. Can anyone post some pictures
on how these were done with the stock door hardware on the inside of the door.
Thanks Geoff

Sean,
Depending on how urgent your need is, Aerosport Products should have a
carbon fiber overhead available shortly. If you were at OSH, you may have
saw Aerosport's carbon fiber instrument panel at either SteinAir's or AFS's
booth. Geoff also had product at the RV-10 HQ at Camp Scholler.
The advantages are that the carbon fiber will be lighter than the fiberglass
overhead. If you have a newer (i.e. pink) canopy, these should fit better
than previously available consoles. With the inconsistencies of the green
canopies, it's amazing that anything fit well.
The product is in the final design stage and Geoff should have the initial
prototype available soon. He had my pink canopy scanned and digitized,
which is why I'm aware of the product. Also, I am also helping him with
getting his website online (which should be live soon).

Sean
I have seen Stien's console on a couple of -10s at KOSH and they are very
nice.
If you are a bit more ambitious, you might want to take a page out of John
G's book and make your own.
Attached are a couple of photos of my "amateur built" console that was built
using John's technique. It took a more than a few hours but was good f/g
practise for a neophyte. I am, now more comfortable with f/g although I
still hate sanding the damn stuff.
I plan to have the canopy interior painted in a couple of weeks by a
professional shop. Painting is one thing I don't want to do because I don't
the requisite skills or equipment. and expect it to look quite respectable.
The "long runs" were fabbed using 3/4" foam about 12" wide. The raised vent
holders were fabbed from shaped foam.
The holes in mine are for eyeball lights and Steins eyeball vents. Speaking
of vents, don't bother with anyone else's vents. I bought some Aveo vents
from ACS and sent them back and got Stien's which really are far superior.
Cheers

Those look nice Les. If I had to order today I would buy Stein's with the black
vents and map lights. I am very interested in the carbon fiber one. I didn't
realize that I should fit the cabin top and then mount the console. That sounds
logical. I am just finishing section 29 so I will be ordering soon. I

Sean,
I agree with everything said to date. I especially like the build your
own if you want to save $ and have something specific to your needs.
Obviously a few more hours will be needed. That being said when we were
building the AA was the only game in town so we installed that poor
fitting piece of... Fiberglass on our old style canopy. Something about
a monkey and a football. If I were doing it again today I would wait for
the carbon fiber one before deciding. If it's anything like the panels
they offer it should be sensational.
Here is a link to my OH build:

Amy way you slice it, the canopy and doors will require a lot of work. My
"pink doors" have / had a lot of voids were it appears that the mold was not
clean when the doors were made. As well my "green canopy" was a real treat
cleaning up.
Stien's stuff is great although I used the ACS eyeball LED lights and his
vents.

I do not know about Van's, but Alex DeDominicis (Aviation tech products)sells
one that has the identical dimensions as Van's unit for the 10 and supposedly
has 20% better cooling. Alex is a good guy and with the difference from the cost

Ditto on the unit from Alex.... with the exception of the reduction in cool

a 40 degree reduction.- Plan on a reduction of between 5 and 15.
