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! -Mike Sent from my iPhone On Mar 7, 2010, at 8:04 AM, japhillipsga@aol.com wrote: > Michael, I received your reply, but there was no text.

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.

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. Stan Sutterfield 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 ge t a face full of air and most times that what needs cooling the most. Who has their vent(s) set up under the panel that can say ?

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.
