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.

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. > On May 3, 2015, at 1:14 AM, bob88 wrote: > > > Indirectly related...what about layering glass around top and sides of windshield, like a lot of us have done on the side windows?

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.

On the ground it can be warm. but then nothing less than air conditioning will help. -------- Bob Turner RV-10 QB Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=441651#441651 ________________________________ Message 5 _____________________________________ Time: 02:57:15 PM PST US Subject: RV10-List: Re: How long does your annual take? From: "AirMike" 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. -------- See you OSH '15 Q/B - flying 5 yrs.
