Hi  

   

I have a bit of a plug or Stien’s eyeball vents. I recently purchased the Aveo vents from ACS and found that they didn’t seal very well when closed. I returned them and ordered the vents from Stein. I was mightily impressed – they sealed completely with negligible leakage. They are truly well made – as is claimed on Stien’s site.  

   

So if you need vents, my recommendation is to go with Stein.  

   

Cheers

I like Stein's too. Haven't flown them or compared them but I was 

impressed with the design and quality.

Just in case SOME other builders out there are on a budget.... and don't want the leaky plastic vents.... I bought a bunch of aluminum swivel eyeball vents (and can get more) from a local aircraft recycle place.  They work great, and I only paid $10 each.  They are a little smaller in diameter, but put out a bunch of air.  I could probably buy them for $20 to $30 each.   Who knows, maybe I could still get them for $10.  Just let me know, and I'll make a trip over there.

Could I buy a couple from you?  I live in VA,  so that may be a problem.

Why would living in VA be a problem?  We keep our boat there, maybe we can meet up.

Looks like I stepped on my wanger on this one.... made the trip out to the plane recyclery today and couldn't find anything worthwhile... so stopped in and talked to the owner to find out what was up because they seemed to always have quite a few on hand.  He explained that this guy who was into doing custom cars continues to buy everyone that comes in.  Oh well, sorry guys.
