Tom --
That mostly 70+-deg. stuff in San Diego got boring for me; or at least that 
attitude
helps with coping here.  'Nother winter storm tomorrow.

The fairing arrangement at my flap root is impractical for a vent, re pre-flight
inspection, and it may now be an area of negative pressure.

So my primary vent is run to a 1/4" hole in the leading edge of the vertical 
fin;
won't dribble out of there on a trigear I'd think.  Approved by my shop's 
Aesthetics
Consultant (Luke N. Goode) and Director of Airworthiness (Kip M. Flein).

Reg,
Fred F.
