My apologies, everyone - I replied to emails from Nico and Ivan, and thought I was emailing them off-list. Didn't realise it would post list-wide. I'll be more careful in future.
& thanks to all those who have emailed me info about rear rudder pedals in Rockets!

Subject: Cockpit cooling
Hey Guys,
My cockpit air comes from a two inch scat going from a hole in the upper rear baffle on the left/center side, same side as my oil cooler, and then goes to a firewall mixer valve which allows heat muff air to be mixed with it. My complaint is, this air is too warm on a day that is 75 degrees or warmer. I have a Naca vent under the right wing that brings in cool outside air but it goes only to the rear seater. I would like to change the front seat set up and leave the rear seat the way it is. My question is, has anyone put a 2" hole in the forward horizontal baffle, in front of number 2 cyl and pulled the air down and aft to the mixer valve on the firewall? Or, has anyone just tied a scat hose along the top of the engine from the aft baffle to the cowl opening in front of number 2 cyl. in an effort to catch the air before it warms up.
My setup is similar to John Harmon's, and he told me years ago that it works fine for him, so I assumed if it works in the Bakersfield desert, it will work in Louisville. Perhaps my setup is not as similar to John's as I think.
TIA,
Jim Stone
