Naca vent adapter
Project number two should be an adapter to fit in the naca vent to warm up the instruments and seats and headsets.

Put a 'Y' fitting on your aluminum flex duct so you can heat both areas (cowl & NACA) with the same heater.

Curious which printer you're using. This is really cool.

Gotta note that this is primarily a combination of single-curved shapes. It could be made by any sheet-metal worker.
Any of those around here?

flying today at -15C with a newbie. I could see my breath in the cockpit. 2K ft/min climb out at 90 kts.
preheat adapter worked great but needs to be ABS plastic because PLA had some creep. ABS planned next week.
Dirk Gibbens is a good stick.

Steve,
Great job! Looks really cool.
