The Van's are sufficient, but having an overhead vent isn't a bad idea. I almost
always fly with my vent fully closed, mainly due to the fact that I fly high
enough so the air outside is cold. I usually have it partially to fully open
for takeoff and landing, but in cruise it is never all the way open.

Correctly applied fiberglass will not delaminate on the top and sides on the windscreen.
However heavy rain will take even the best paint off. The solution is
a layer of leading edge urethane tape applied over the finish paint. This is
my experience on my 300 mph Glasair III and on my RV10.

like a lot of us have done on the side windows? I read somewhere that there
was a delamination problem after flying through heavy rain.

I have the overhead console and generally use the overhead vents in cruise since
the air velocity is a bit lower and I like the air on my face on hot days. Backseat
passengers also seem to like the overhead vents. Front vents are the best
when it's very hot outside but you can get some moisture through them (not
that we have rain in Arizona). My console is fed air through two of Vans vents
located on the sides just aft of the baggage bulkhead.

My question is regarding cabin comfort. I fly in a hot climate (central ca) and
wonder if the Vans vents are sufficient. I had not planned on overhead vents...would

We're based in Livermore, no overhead console, no problems with temperatures in
cruise. On the ground it can be warm. but then nothing less than air conditioning
will help.

I usually figure three full days (24 hrs), but I am old - fat - and slow. Really
though I try to do a very thorough job. I do the wheel bearings every other
year. I also clean and polish everything when it is apart. I have the A&P 2x check
my engine work - this is really important to me as they look at this stuff
all the time. This year he caught a nut on the alternator missing. There is
almost always a squak that needs extra time, example are fuel leaks, cranky electronics,
static check, wheel pant damage, worn out tires, new brake linings,
buggered/stuck screw, etc.
