Vince, thanks for the information. Last night about midnight I finally found the
location for the vent hole in the fuselage drawings and your correct, about
a foot forward of the rear spar connection corresponding to the second rib hole.
I went ahead and ProSeal'ed the plastic NACA duct into place and wedged it
with some blocks. I cleaned it with naphtha and the plastic got slick so I hope
I did not damage it cleaning up the gue ? It was as big a mess as the tank,
had ProSeal in my ears. Best regards, Bill of Georgia

Subject: RV8-List: Re: RV8-List Vent Route
RV-8 Builder Friends, which wing rib lightening hole should I route the rear
pax air vent hose through ? The drawings don't specify which hole and my hose
will go through even the smallest rib hole. I can't tell from the fuselage
drawing if it makes a difference, but so far everything makes a difference if
it's wrong. Hope to hear from someone, Best regards, Bill of Georgia

I am assuming you haven't built the fuselage yet.
The vent hole is @ 1 foot forward of the aft wing spar. You will be routing
the vent line through the second smallest hole.But!
You will probably mount the fuselage (pilot) vent first so I suggest you set
the vent tube aside until then as you don't know exactly the length you will
need.
Fact is, you will probably be well in to the finish kit before you return to
this. I have the engine installed, canopy done, etc. but my wings are still
hanging in the garage with the vent tube sticking out of the access ports
looking very dusty.
You will also want to install window screen material over the plastic
(excuse me.space age top quality composite) vents to keep out the critters.
