 Posted: Mon Dec 31, 2012 11:23 am Post subject: Naca Vents |
 |
|
Hi all, I'm getting ready to cut the NACA vent hole(s) in my tail cone for an overhead console and am wondering if I really need 2 vents. Seems to me I've read comments about one vent being sufficient. Also being in Southern Ontario, the summer temps aren't sustained for nearly as long as those of you south of the Mason Dixon line, thus the reason I question if 2 are needed.
Any and all opinions are welcome. Happy New Year to everyone.

Rick, I went with just one Naca scoop in the tail cone area (just behind baggage door) feeding my overhead console. It has provided plenty of air from overhead. There’s a few pictures in my web album starting with this one:

Rick I would still put 2 in. I have 2 and in the summer you get some air from them when taxiing. It is not a lot
but sure helps when it is hot. You can always close the vents or for you put in the NACA control
valve from Aerosport Products. You can shut the whole system down in the winter with the controller and open it up in the
summer. Its easier to do it now then later. It will take maybe 1 hour more for the extra vent.
FWIW

I put a pair of them in, along with an Aerosport Products vent controller. Like Geoff mentioned, in the air one is probably enough, but while taxiing you'll want them both wide open in the summer.
You might drop Ivan an email and see what his experiences are in Guelph.

It's too easy to add that second vent now.

Hi Guys, sorry to take so long responding, New Years got in the way.
Ok, so I guess popular consensus is 2 NACA vents. Thx for the opinions.

I just finished putting my vents and overhead in and went with two naca's. I got Geoff's controller and decided not to put it in and see how it worked without and so far its fine. Went with the Stien eyeball vents and they do a good job of sealing off air flow unless you want it. Not to talk you out of putting in the controller, just my experience.

The one thing about the controller is that in the winter you will still have all that cold air up in the overhead. The Stein vents
works great but I was amazed at how much warmer the cabin is when the overhead is completely shut off. I was like you at first Bruce
I did not have the controller in for the first couple months. I almost canned the idea but love it now.
Either way 2 are better than one.
