I had a thought some time ago about the hot tunnels folks were experiencing
and where I could exhaust some air to help. There's a small opening in the
front of the tunnel cover and I figured I would use that as an inlet and
then I drilled a couple holes in the bottom skin at the back of the tunnel
thinking cockpit air pressurized from the cooling vents would flow through
the tunnel and help a little. Long explanation to get to the point that I
didn't notice any difference. No clue what sort of outside pressure exists
at my exit holes and that could be part of the issue.
On a previous airplane (Q-2) the fuselage was pretty tight so there were a
lot of discussions about the need to create exit holes in the fuselage so
cooling air could actually flow. Seems like there is plenty of air coming
in my cooling vents so I don't think it's much of an issue in the RV-10 (or
perhaps I just built a really leaky airplane).
