My front seat vent is a naca below the right cheek & just aft of the
firewall, plumbed to a 2" eyeball just below the rt side of the
instrument panel. Adequate flow but requires scat tube & eyeball. If I
were doing it for the 1st time I'd consider a 'push out' vent below the
canopy rail longeron & more or less in line with the instrument panel
(just aft of the panel bulkhead). Lighter, less work, cheaper, etc.
Might get a little heat from air leakage past the cowl/firewall
intersection, though; some have reported a couple of degrees difference
in OAT probe readings in that neighborhood vs. out in the wing.
It's nice to own one built by someone else; it gives you all kinds of
ideas on what works & what doesn't when you're building your own. I'm
looking now at moving the battery from the 'tunnel' to the firewall. It
would free up a lot of storage, & every cu. in. counts in a -4.
Sorry for the tardy reply.

Charlie - have you thought HOW you are going to mount the battery on the
firewall? I am struggling. If you have a picture/description of a well
implemented solution I would be interested.
Thanks, Steve.

Hi Charlie,
Thanks for the tip. I love the idea of moving the battery forward. That
would help my weight and balance. I have the 0-290 up front and am currently
limited to less that 160 in the rear seat. Let me know how the battery
relocation goes...

I Moved my Odessey PC680 to the firewall 2 years ago. Works great, shortens the
electical lines adds a forward glovebox where the battery used to be (I hinged
the cover) and helps CG, a win-win...
