Hi all,
I've spent nearly 2500 hours on my XS so far, but this computer
wizardry is all new to me, so if it all goes pearshaped please accept my
apologies.
I have been considering the need for extra cooling in the cockpit
and to me, the obvious place is a small NACA duct in the fuselage top,
just behind the front door hinges feeding a couple of the airliner type
eyeball vents. Rainwater could be tubed into the door jamb inboard of
the seal. Then Carl Reynaud suggested that the region above this part
of the fuselage might be a low pressure zone and the air might, in fact,
move out of the cockpit rather than blast in! Has anyone tried this
idea... You could save me a few more hundred hours if it's a bad plot.
