 |
|
Hi guys,
I'm installing a fibreglass overhead console which I purchased from the late Tony Sustare some years ago now.
I never received any instructions with the console, so I'm mainly using Deems website as a guide as he also installed the same overhead console. The console installation is generally fiddly but not 'rocket science'.
If anyone has any instructions that would be appreciated but not essential, however I'd really like to know what people used to seal the aft flange of the overhead console to the aft bulkhead in the baggage bay please?
For information purposes, I'm using the same vents as Deems did, the black anodised aluminium vents from Stein, however I'm using the touch activated and touch dimming lights from Aveo, which can be selected from white to red LED in the same light. They are 'wicked'. No switches need to be installed, as the switching is touch sensitive. Also reduces wiring too.
I'm also using LED's in the baggage bay, rather than the standard light.
Warm regards from Oz

I have Geoff's overhead. Mine fits almost flush against the baggage
bulkhead. I just used some standard weather stripping as a seal.

I used mold release on the baggage wall, cut the overhead as close as I could, then laid up epoxy/flox/glass to fill the gap. Then I removed the top, built an aft wall in the overhead plenum to seal it off and make it a pressurized chamber (ie, it doesn't need to seal against the aft baggage wall). Installed two 2" ducts and ran those to the naca inlets.
I can send Picts in a few days if necessary.

Mike I was thinking of doing that installation technique, thereby eliminating the need for a seal.
Pictures would be appreciated when you are able please.
Many thanks.

I have the same console. I can tell you that the instructions are not that good. I will try and get to the hanger tomorrow and see if I still have them. If I can find them I will get them posted here for you.

Eric, I can't seem to get enough clearance with the front vents (Steins) as they hit the cabin top when positioned in the front holes which re pre-recessed into the fibreglass molding of the overhead console.
Any suggestions would be appreciated please?
I've considered positioning the front vents further aft.
Warm regards
Patrick

Patrick, I dug through the hanger and the garage and do not have the 'instructions' for the overhead. You aren't missing much though by way of guidance from them though. On my installation I had no issue with the vent clearance. I tried to attach a close up picture of my vent so you could compare. Were I really had trouble was the joggle on the canopy cover over the back seats. Not even close is an understatement. Not only was it not in the ballpark, but we were playing different sports. I had to do remove the sides for about 8 inches forward and aft of the joggle and reshape it all. Minor work in the grand scheme of things. I did not however have an issue with clearance. With the vents installed there is no restriction of movement and with about 3/4" between the vent and the canopy I get plenty of airflow. Never had the vents fully open in cruise. Getting a whole lot of air out of them. Feel free to PM me if there are any specifics I can try to help you with.

Eric, I had no issues down he back, it's the front that's giving me grief.
I'll need to build up he front with a small base in order to lower the vents away from the overhead and the cabin top on order for the vents to clear the cabin top.
I'll get there, however progress is slow.
Warm regards
Patrick

Guys
Can you tell someone that doesn’t know anything about this overhead console, where does the fresh air to these vents come from?
Thanks
Carlos

Carlos here are some pictures that might help. Just put a NACA scoop as in the photo 2" scat tubing from the NACA
to the bulk head fittings as in the pictures.
Hope this helps

Carlos,
there are several ideas around however at the end it is always the need
to create an outside air opening going into that overhead console, that
could be an NACA inlet on the top (do not forget to care for the water
entering it or you have a shower  or some other opening bringing via a
duct some fresh air to that console.
For Iberia you could look into an aircon as well instead?
Cheers
Werner

Carlos,
I have 260 hours with Aerosport's overhead console. It is one of the few must have's in my opinion. Really nice haveing multiple areas to adjust air instead of one blasting your left kneecap.

That’s right Werner
I will consider the aircon option, but I need to know prices and weights......

Sure Sean, I wish I had the console, but you've got to admit
it's kind of nice having that vent on the side...you can
blast the air right up one leg of your shorts, and then
that jungle air comes flowing right out the other leg hole.
What a relief in summer! I can't let the wife do that...
the whistling noise is at the wrong freq. for my ANR
headsets.  (sorry, couldn't resist)

Sounds like you need to have another kid, Tim. That'll shift the frequency a couple of octaves lower and it should get caught in the headset with the engine noise.
