The vent mechanism is crap. Mine also broke long before I finished building
.For a few dollars ACS supply a repair kit=2C which is unbreakable.

Hi Max=2C
Europa will probably be able to supply
them but they get them from Aircraft Spruce in California.

Hi There all=2C
As French we are
used to play with clitoris=2C but I must admit that I broke one of the gree
n
Russian spiral. Has anybody one available? Do you think Europa delivers it
(I
didn=92t ask yet)?

Bob and Pete
They work fine if
adjust them just with a bit tender!
It is very easy if same
time have a bit imagination that (The Knob) is a sweet clitoris. Do not bro
ke
it!
Maybe that (ability to
use those Naca vents with Russian vertical spiral) is deep inside in a Finn
ish
nature: we have lived thousands of years just west from Russia and our
borderline is about 1000 miles long.

PS: if honest during
the building phase I hated them. But there were so many things I would have
liked to do otherway or change. But I had not competence to do so. And did
not
want to use even more money. Hey I had a complete aircraft kit they said!
So I decided to go on with those vents. And using them gently they have wor
ked
just fine. If I remember correct these are new ones ' I also did broke
them when trying them first time...and that is why I strenghtened them some
how
' maybe by using large area washers or so.

do archive!

That's why we dislike
them. Cheep=2C crapy=2C miserable adjustments. They broke the first
time I attempted to open/close them (thankfully=2C before they were
installed). And they are not repairable. So they went into the dust
bin and I bought outrageously expensive but completely functional vents
(Ultimate Ventilators) from ACS.

Rebuilding the
instrument panel and working on a major weight reduction program for The Li
ttle
Dragon Lady. She has to loose about 50 lbs (that's 3 Stone 8 for you guys
in the UK). And the CG has to go back into the middle of the range.
A new=2C light weight=2C low power=2C panel along with removal of the big a
lternator
should take care of most of that.
