Default Vent Plugs Anyone?
I am trying to find a plug for my fresh air vents, to keep out the critters as well as the water when washing the plane and accidentally spray some water in there. It is not much fun getting sprayed on the next flight. Anyone know where I can find some? I have an RV-7, but they seem to be standard size. Thanks.

Default Screen wire & Rags!
For the critters, screen wire. As for washing I just stick rags in them.

What Mel said.

Check out this picture of the screen clamped in place. Don't forget to position the clamps so you and get to them once the top skin is riveted on.
