Has anybody used the Van's SV-COMBO vent kit in a 601HD?  Is there 

enough room to install the NACA opening between the sidewall stiffeners 

aft of the firewall?



Thanks for any info.

Bill:



I installed Van's NACA inlets and cockpit air outlets in my 601HD.  It was

some time ago, so I'm not sure if they are the same as the SV-Combo kit.

The opening in the side skin measures 137mm long by 70mm at the widest

point, if that helps to identify them.



The NACA inlets are installed just below the upper longeron with the

centerline of the inlet parallel to the longeron and about 55mm below the

edge of the upper skin.  The forward edge of the inlet is 165mm aft of the

firewall rivet line.  I located the cockpit air outlets just below the

outboard corners of the instrument panel.



Since the airplane is still languishing in my garage I can't tell you how

effective they are.  The installation was not difficult at all.



I can scan a couple of pictures if that would be helpful.  Let me know off

list.

Similar story here.

Installed some sort of kit from Van's back in '99, on an HDS.

Work really well. Large eyeball vents centered infront of each pilot, 

at the bottom of the panel.



Installation shown half way down the page:

(The instrument panel photo on the same page doesn't show the vents - 

photo was taken before the retrofit for the big Van's vents.)

My installation is very similar.
