Thanks fellows for all the great vent input. I've mounted it under the pan

keep it away from my knee. Good show!, Bill

ill,
put my front cockpit air vents down low below the panel. I have three
ents.
here 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
he side of the cockpit over the passengers knee so there would be no
bstructions. Other builders reported that getting warm air to the RCP was
ifficult.
3. I wanted to keep the main panel as uncluttered as possible.
4. I wanted to keep the ducting hidden.
have three vents because the right side can be either heat or cool while
he left side is cool only. The right side splits the air to two vents -
ne of which can be directed on my feet.
n practice, the setup has worked well for me. I can get enough cool air
n the summer without it blowing directly in my face and heat if needed in
he winter. I haven't tested the heat down the sidewall for the passenger
et - although I can certainly direct the air to the RCP.
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
iring, fuel lines, and air ducting through there. On the left side of th
e
ootwell, I added a matching cover on the left side which conceals the left
ent ducting.

Matt,
noticed on your log that you used the Princeton Fuel Probes. I have had
ERY poor performance from them. I have calibrated them to the engine
onitor 8 times and they are still inaccurate. I am contemplating removing
hem, throwing them away, and replacing them with regular floats. The nor
mal
floats can not possibly be any more inaccurate.
've talked to both the Princeton guy and to the AFS engine monitors
olks. No success.
'd be interested to hear if other builders have used the probes and found
hem to be inaccurate.
