Looking for these little Vents

When that vent is placed in the right area it really works well. Larry Vetterman

Glad you chimed in Larry - these are beautifully made little things - nothing wrong with them at all - I just wish I’d put them in a better location!

Thanks Paul. I actually had 2 models. The small ones were for RV type airplanes and the larger ones were for cub type airplanes. Yes I have 2 of the smaller vents but they will be mounted in my panther so they’re not for sale. I’m thinking a 3D printed unit would work however the tolerances are extremely close to make them work correctly. Maybe Steve Melton might see this post and chime in. Larry Vetterman

I thought I'll ask, one never knows..

Good luck on the Panther's Project

Still love your 4 Pipes exhaust on my-4 BTW.

I hate to see a great product go by the wayside so I am currently working with a couple companies in the aircraft world to get them made again. If that is successful they should be available again.

I'm glad to read that...Hoping to get a couple whenever they become available again.

Thanks for jumping in Larry, much appreciated.

Cheers
