From: "DaveG601XL" Larry, Your panel looks great! It is much better than my P-touch labeler attempt. One comment: Those look like fuse boxes on either side just below the panel. For a pilot my size (larger than most!) that is right where my knees hit. Make sure they are protected from unintended jostling. Keep up the good work! -------- David Gallagher 601 XL/Jabiru 3300 First flight 7/24/08 100 hours and climbing!

The best solution I've found is to stick an AveoAir ball vent directly in the NACA duct outlet. The 1.75" OD (also available in 1.5 and 2.0) nests quite nicely, and only needs a bead of RTV or a layer of gaffer's tape to be snug and airtight. Or, you can get the vent with the 2.0" sleeve, and some SCAT, and be done with it!

Applefeld VMD" Subject: Re: Zenith-List: Correction Bill, If you unwind some of the wire from inside the scat tube away from the outer hose, then cut it off, you can then tighten the outer sheath without the wire getting in the way. This worked well on all my fittings and the sheath is less likely to tear and is easier to get on and off.

Just fab a few pieces and fasten the eyeball directly to the NACA outlet.? I think I used .062" for the face bracket and .025" for the transition piece. Jay Bannister All- ???
