Beechcraft Cowl Door Chafe Seal. Previous 1 2 Next. Q: What is the hole diameter and do you have a better picture of it? We have installed this on the copilot side and rear windows of a Cessna , which works on hot weather.

Makes taxing much more friendly to the rest of the users. Lets a nice breeze in from the prop wash. Once in the air, if cool, you may close them.

Some people like the air in their face, works for airsickness. Easy to install, go slow on the cutting, dont let the drill jam. Sand the cutout before you install the vent. Got used hardware with the first one that had stripped threads. Easy to install, but the amount of fresh air it provides is not enough to keep you cool during hot summer days in a low wing plane.

These vents are the source of some wind noise but they are very inexpensive. Control over the air entering the cockpit is by means of a knob. This modified version of the NACA submerged duct features an infinite number of adjustments utilizing a small rotating control wheel.

It can be tightly closed. However, you will also need a mounting adaptor and ducting to connect it to a source of ram air. The airline style "Eyeball Air Vent" is similar to the "Wisperflo Vent" except that it has a smaller orifice outlet. It too swivels to direct the air where you want it. This elegant, aluminum unit has a knurled outlet collar which may be rotated to control the air volume entering the cockpit.

It, too, requires use of CAT ducting to connect it to a source of ram air. By all means, do screen over all air inlets. Not necessarily where the screen can be seen but at some point before the air enters the ducting. The protective screen will keep out varmints and other unwelcome pests.

A piece of aluminum screen wire can be cut to fit the opening and glued in place with an adhesive such as silicon adhesive, epoxy, or Pro-seal.

A means should be provided for shutting off the ventilation system when the cooling air is not needed. This is easily accomplished with the installation of a commercially available airline type eyeball air vent, a "Wisperflow" swivel vent, or an adjustable NACA air scoop.

The ventilating air is generally conducted from its point of pick up to some strategically located cockpit vents using 2" diameter "SCAT" or "CAT" aeroduct ducting. Somebody is sure to write and ask about air conditioning. Forget it. It is too heavy and bulky an installation for the average homebuilt, and it would cost you an arm and a leg.
