I think I have worked out my cooling airflows for inlet and extraction, but
they will have to wait for flight for proof.
I have fitted a handscrew retractable scoop feeding a plenum in the roof
space and then out of punka louvres.
I have fitted a solenoid retracteble reversed (for extraction) scoop in the
inspection hatch at the rear.
I did consider the tailwheel hatch as has been mentioned on the site but
thought the internal rear bulkhead would be an obstruction. I also
consitered a pickup at the base of the fin but could not get my head round
the work involved.
I have a query though. I intend to fit the side NACA vents to help cool my
lower parts & feet and wondered if anyone had come up with a 'most
suitable' position for their location or is it a case of what looks best
and a bit of guesswork?
Thanks in advance.
