Some time ago I began a thread on how to best keep Julie warm in the rear seat. I have installed the Atlee Dodge rear seat mod and it works well, but there is a draft that comes from the rear of the aircraft to the lower pressure in the cockpit. Larry Vetterman has developed a method of preventing this "tail pumping", using a reverse NACA duct. Grant Wallace was kind enough to install the vent (Larry, I'm not sure what you call the device...please correct me) on the belly of the aircraft during annual, and it looks good and I'll report back on the effect it should have on air flow.

Installation, looking toward the front of the aircraft
Installation, looking aft
Grant did a super job with this. Larry is a very talented engineer, and this should be a good help in keeping the passenger warmer!
