Skunk Works
No plans at this time to make strut fairings. But we are working on a light easy way to direct the air better from the side air vents for people who live in the lower latitude where there is serious heat. These are things you come up with when you are stuck in the plane all day on your way back from OSH.

You guys are just too funny. We are gonna start calling you two Orville & Wilber, you just never stop thinking of things to improve the -12.
I hate to break this to you though...... you can take your OSH arm band off now, the party is over.

Hi Larry,
No one has offered to let us build their 12 yet so we have to do something in our spare time.

WARNING
PADS cannot be relieved by doing household chores and projects, that kind of work is mentally harmful and should be avoided. Also, tools from the project should never be used for chores, it will destroy their self esteem.

Air vent
Go to a junk yard and get the heater duct hoses and run them from the vent up to the panel, might have to call the Appollo13 guys to help you mount a round hose to a square hole.

Cooler cockpit
I bought one of those fans that fit inside a 28 quart cooler filled with ice and put it in the luggage compartment. They only cost about 30 or 40 bucks on Ebay, and it's absolutely amazing how badly they work...

How about transition plexi that gets darker the more it's exposed to the sun?

John, When you get the ductwork figured out, work in a way to route the airflow through a damp media. Then we can have an airborne swamp cooler. I know you can do it!
