Who knew that you doing hollow Beech tree hot airflow research would make airplanes faster? Keep up the good work

These comments are great…
In our Cub we mounted one of the square Piper “vent’s” backward in the rear window… has the same effect in pulling the warm air from the front to the rear of the cabin…

Last week I thought dr Randy had a decent suggestion on cabin airflow with this rear facing Naca vent idea
i found one on amazon for 50 bucks. The carbon cub has a small access panel on the belly right under the jackscrew. I gorilla taped it into place for evaluation. I had to run to NH yesterday for parts so it would be a good test. In the cub I have a insulating board between the ext baggage and the cockpit, helps to keep the chill back there. . I had the insulation barrier in place on the way out, and was not impressed at all the heat was adequate, but overpowering. IT was 32 outside at 6.5
Got my stuff at Woodstock and pulled the barrier down. Shortly after takeoff I can smell something hot. Its my new boots that are in front of the heater outlets. I cant put my fingers inside the outlet holes its too hot to let them stay very long. Obviously the "Randy" vent is doing something. I probably should do some before and after measurments, but this mod works. YMMV. will post a pix when I get it to a more permanent install

Jim, thanks for the report. It hasn't been cold enough here to adequately evaluate the change.
The "Randy vent" isn't mine nor my idea. The credit goes to Larry Vetterman, folks. While I understand that you might be able to get it cheaper on Amazon, I would encourage you to consider purchasing this from Larry. He has made such an impact on general aviation, is quite happy to share his ideas and is always available for questions. I hope you will support him.
