 |
|
A few weeks back someone was asking for the factory instructions for fitting
the NACA ventilators. I looked at the time but didn't find my instructions
where I thought they should be. However, looking for something else I have
just come across them!
The lower front corner of the ventilator should be on the Fuselage
join line . The back vertical edge should be 6.25 ins/160mm in front of the
front edge of the door. Could scan complete instructions to anyone still
needing them> Regards, David Joyce, G-XSDJ

So are mine, I just need to find baggier shorts for the air to make a circuit around my crotch and down the other leg. Just couldn't bring myself to mess with my pretty joint line. I still haven't put in my ultimate air vents. It's getting hot in Florida and I just need time to get around to it.

<?xml:namespace prefix="v" /><?xml:namespace prefix="o" /><![endif]--> Gary,
I still can't believe you cut the hole with a fly catcher hole saw in the glass. That's brave. You were smart and practiced on plexi first to get the technique. Yours is the first with the vents in the windscreen I know of, as you know I put them in the fuselage just below the windscreen as epoxy/glass is easier to fix, and I'm glad they work there well.
For the group, I will use a hole saw as recommended by LP Aero and cut slowly from both sides and sand to fit. Low pressure and slow turning seems to work just fine. The hardest part will be the aluminum trim rings to doll it up. Ah details. It just takes practice and a steady hand.
After Sun n Fun is when I may pull my plane in for the work. Just no time right now.

Bud...What, pray tell, is a "fly catcher hole saw"? It must be quite handy...

<?xml:namespace prefix="v" /><?xml:namespace prefix="o" /><![endif]--> Fred,
It is an adjustable hole saw type with a center drill and a single arm ( or more) with adjustable cutter attached. The single arm type is great for catching limbs and other loose objects and inflicting injury. It also has a nasty tendency for it to sling the work piece around unless everything is clamped well. The smaller ones with multiple blades of high quality work well. It takes patience, skill and proper prep to use one well. My first one was a cheap hardware store type and I learned you get what you pay for.
I'll stick with bimetal metal cutting hole saws. I'm chicken.
