Pascal, and group.... Make a new bracket to support the bottom cowl... heav
ier material, and wider.... otherwise it WILL break.- I was just installi
ng the one I made (of course I made several) and Mark Carey came by to ck o
n my progress.... and said his just broke.
Texas status:-
Kim made it to the Pecan Platation here in Texas about an hour before I did
.- About 1,400 miles.... two--4 hour flights seperated by a short ref
ueling stop.- No problems... with the exception of the one towering cumul
ous, that I thought contained no lightning.... at least until I was skirtin
g the edge.... then lighning,.... then I turned to create more distance bet
ween it and me... and I succeeded in escaping.
Will keep in touch.--- Don

| Subject: | Stein eyeball vents |
Was wondering which eyeball vents from Stein are suited for the flange on
the forward NACA vents on either side of the instrument panel. To use his I
assume you make a 3 inch square plate to mount on the NACA vent flange and
then drill appropriate size hole in plate to mount vent directly to said
flange (no SCAT needed). SO should I get the 1.25 or 2 inch eyeballs?
Thanks

I had originally purchased the 1 3/4" Stein vents, made the flanges you mentioned.
The 1 3/4" vents come with a duct that threads onto the vent and allows the
scat tubing to attach to the vent (although the duct would not be used as the
vent is mounted directly to the NASA flange). Using the duct is the only means
to attach the vent to a flange (unless you can find a thin nut with the very
fine threads that match the actual eyeball vent). I had machined the duct or
cut off the last bit of the duct to use as a nut and mounted the make shift nut
and vent to the flange.
We then decided to go with a carbon fiber panel and the above would not fit as
the eyeball vent mounts into the carbon panel ( I sold the modified vents) .We
purchased the smaller ones. I have not flown the A/C yet , hopefully soon, but
I think I would prefer the 1 3/4" if I were to use the Van's panel, but I do
believe the smaller ones would be easier to mount as the nut I had to fabricate
comes with the smaller ones.
