Eric, I had no issues down he back, it's the front that's giving me grief.
I'll need to build up he front with a small base in order to lower the vents away
from the overhead and the cabin top on order for the vents to clear the cabin
top.
I'll get there, however progress is slow.
Warm regards
Patrick

| Subject: | Re: RV-10 Fibreglass Overhead Console |
Carlos,
there are several ideas around however at the end it is always the need
to create an outside air opening going into that overhead console, that
could be an NACA inlet on the top (do not forget to care for the water
entering it or you have a shower ;) or some other opening bringing via a
duct some fresh air to that console.
For Iberia you could look into an aircon as well instead?
Cheers

| Subject: | Re: Parking brake alternative - now including towbars |
I welded two small tabs on the tips, as described by Bob. It works fine. I move
the stick to the side, jam the collapsed tow bar against the bottom cushion,
and bungee the stick to the tow bar.
It's been suggested to me that I slip it over the stick and jam the extended tow
bar against the back cushion. the seat belt would definitely make it more secure.
The only doubt I have is the tow bar pushing the brake pedals enough to
"slip through". Also, locked brakes would complicate things if the FBO needed
to move your plane.

| Subject: | Question for the fiberglass mavens |
Hi
I am finishing my cowl (yeah right!) and am wondering how to install some rivets
so that they won't fail or crack paint.
I want to install Skybolt CamLoc flanges. These flanges use -3 countersunk rivets.
My cowl is carbon fiber with gel coat. My plan is to embed the flanges, after
roughening up with scotch rite, in a bed of flox. I also plan roughen up the
gel coat and put a later of glass over the line of rivet heads.
Is the above a reasonable approach or is there a better way? Should I remove all
the gel coat before glassing the rivet line. The carbon fiber is not all that
thick so I don't want the rivets to pull through.
Many thanks
Les

Carl
Now that you mentioned the stock Van=92s ventilation, I was trying to
understand it in the manual, but I can only find (in page 50-3), the
installation instruction to mount the NACA scoop on the inside of the
fuselage hole, and nothing else.
Page 4 of section 50 is =93intentionally left blank=94 and there is no
page 5.
Are the vents directly mounted to the downwind end of the scoops?
And by the way, did everybody use the plastic vents or did you exchange
those by the high dollar aluminium vents?

Carlos,
I have 260 hours with Aerosport's overhead console. It is one of the few must
have's in my opinion. Really nice haveing multiple areas to adjust air instead
of one blasting your left kneecap.

Sure Sean, I wish I had the console, but you've got to admit
it's kind of nice having that vent on the side...you can
blast the air right up one leg of your shorts, and then
that jungle air comes flowing right out the other leg hole.
What a relief in summer! I can't let the wife do that...
the whistling noise is at the wrong freq. for my ANR
headsets. :) (sorry, couldn't resist)

Yes, the vents mount directly on the NACA scoops. Four #8 screws with a
washer under the head and nut work well.
I just used the plastic vents, thinking that if I have spare cash in the
future I could always buy the nice (but overpriced) aluminum ones from
Van=92s. I have the same plastic vents in my 8A for 10 years and never
found
reason to change them.

Now that you mentioned the stock Van=92s ventilation, I was trying to
understand it in the manual, but I can only find (in page 50-3), the
installation instruction to mount the NACA scoop on the inside of the
fuselage hole, and nothing else.
Page 4 of section 50 is =93intentionally left blank=94 and there is no
page 5.
Are the vents directly mounted to the downwind end of the scoops?
And by the way, did everybody use the plastic vents or did you exchange
those by the high dollar aluminium vents?

I started to fit up an overhead console in my plane but then decided
against
it. My concern was head clearance. With 47 hours now on the plane
(most on
90+ degree days), I find the ventilation provided by the stock Van=92s
vents
works well.
I did make two homebrew LED flexible lights, using the brace top bracket
screws to mount. Total cost was less than $10.

If you extend the handle and go up to the seat back you'll get a better angle on
the brake pedals, making it less likely they'll slip up and over.
I only would use this long enough to get the wheels chocked. Then I'd go back to
the rudder bar/gust lock, where it cannot easily slip out.

I chose not to put in an overhead console but have to admit it was just
plain laziness. That top got as much of me as I was willing to give.
And Geoff's cool stuff wasn't out there yet.
The Van's vents work fine, though on a hot day in NC, more air is more
better. I put an additional obstacle in place that makes the air work
harder but it still works fine.
http://www.mykitlog.com/users/display_log.php?user=MauleDriver&project=224&category=5253&log=91400&row=5
If you look at the second picture, you can see the 2 NACA vents peeking
out below the panel. On the panel you can see 2 of Stein's eyeball
vents (very nice). If you notice, they don't even come close to lining
up. Generally speaking the Vans design seems to just have the vents
jutting out underneath the panel though YMMV depending on the specific
panel you are putting in.
What I did to connect the 2 things was to use a piece of SCAT (actually
CEET) rolled up to do a 360deg. About 1 foot curled up on itself works
quite nicely. Unfortunately, the tubing isn't in place in these
photos. This may be useful for any of you going with the Van's vents
but wanting to relocate it on the panel.

I have the overhead console that came with the Flightline AC air conditioning system.
I also installed the upgraded Van's aluminum eyeball vents on the NACA
vents in the cockpit. Those vents are really nice and you get a huge amount of
air in the cabin with those vents. They are even pretty good on the ground with
the engine running.
