I had it that way on my original RV-4 panel. Cooled my chest and neck
great. When I redid my panel I moved them up in the panel. Now I can
direct it on my fade, neck, or chest. I'm very happy with it this way!

That is how I did it on the 8A. It is mounted on a small piece of
=BE=94 by =BE=94
angle that attaches to the throttle quadrant side. I have it so the
vent
angles up toward me. I=92m happy with the install. The panel real
estate is
too valuable to use space for a vent.

On the RV-8 who has their front air vent valve below the panel instead
of
out the face ? I'm not sure if I locate the vent below the panel I can

I know some fellows have it that way. Hope to hear from someone, Bill

Subject: | Re: RV8- Air Vents |
Bill,
I put my front cockpit air vents down low below the panel. I have three
vents.
There are several reasons I mounted the vents low in the cockpit.
1. I don't like air (warm or cool) blowing directly in my face.
2. I wanted to be able to direct warm air for the rear cockpit along
the side of the cockpit over the passengers knee so there would be no
obstructions. Other builders reported that getting warm air to the RCP was
difficult.
3. I wanted to keep the main panel as uncluttered as possible.
4. I wanted to keep the ducting hidden.
I have three vents because the right side can be either heat or cool while
the left side is cool only. The right side splits the air to two vents -
one of which can be directed on my feet.
In practice, the setup has worked well for me. I can get enough cool air
in the summer without it blowing directly in my face and heat if needed in
the winter. I haven't tested the heat down the sidewall for the passenger
yet - although I can certainly direct the air to the RCP.
A couple of things to keep in mind about my setup though is that I used the
lower portion of the front baggage for the main battery and I've routed
wiring, fuel lines, and air ducting through there. On the left side of the
footwell, I added a matching cover on the left side which conceals the left
vent ducting.
If you care to see what I've done, you can view my web photos at
_http://www.rv-8a.net/2007.htm_ (http://www.rv-8a.net/2007.htm) and scroll down to
18 Feb 07, 12 Mar 07, and 22 Apr 07. Then see the overall cockpit at
_http://www.rv-8a.net/2009APR.htm_ (http://www.rv-8a.net/2009APR.htm) and scroll
down to 22 Apr 09. Click on the photo to see a large version and you can
spot the vents if you look carefully below the panel.
Any questions - let me know.

Subject: | Princeton Fuel Probes |
Matt,
I noticed on your log that you used the Princeton Fuel Probes. I have had
VERY poor performance from them. I have calibrated them to the engine
monitor 8 times and they are still inaccurate. I am contemplating removing
them, throwing them away, and replacing them with regular floats. The normal
floats can not possibly be any more inaccurate.
I've talked to both the Princeton guy and to the AFS engine monitors
folks. No success.
I'd be interested to hear if other builders have used the probes and found
them to be inaccurate.
