BTW... my Lightspeed Plasma II is mounted on the firewall for 270 hrs, mounted with permission from Klaus to be there, and it works fine for a 4 cylinder set-up... temps never over 140 F ever under the cowl @ the firewall.

Default My RV10

When I upgraded the panel in my RV10 18 months ago, I added a fan like Ernst posted in his reply. I added the fan because I noticed that Lightspeed had a note in the docs recommending a fan for the 6 cylinder installations. I copied design ideas others had posted here and came up with something similar. I believe I did make a post then with a link to a supplier of those fans because they are cheap. Do a search and you should find that source. We are on a summer trip otherwise I would check my docs at home for that source.

Try this link for cooling fan source.

Default Avionics fan

Garmin 430W needs a cooling fan too, I'm pretty sure, so my avionics shop hooked up a 3-port avionics blower for that plus my dual LSE boxes for my -10 on the cool side of the firewall. No issues. Just not the cheapest solution. Looks a lot like the previous postings.
