Sorta' like a Long-EZ. (arning: I have not flown my L-235 yet, so I don't know how it will work out.) My friend Clarence and I tufted his forward deck, and took his plane up. From the direction of the airflow across the deck, I angled my NACA vent to conform. I connected the NACA duct to some S.C.A.T tube and two eyeball vents on the lower part of the radio stack. This is no good for you if you have a full stack, but I am a minimalist... Obviously, I had to install some tygon tube to drain off any rainwater when the aircraft is sitting on the ramp. Hope it works... >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> LML website: http://www.olsusa.com/Users/Mkaye/maillist.html LML Builders' Bookstore: http://www.buildersbooks.com/lancair Please send your photos and drawings to marvkaye@olsusa.com. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
