Hey i'm just curious, maybe somebody knows the answer...
couple of months ago i installed my rv-7 vent lines. i just did what the manual/drawing ordered me to do and switched my brain off during the built (i learned that this is the best way to follow orders when i served 13 years in the german air force).
today i was looking at them and asked myself "heck, why do they have such a strange routing?". they go into the fuse, then upwards, then forward and downwards again, pointing out at the bottom skin just behind the firewall. it was a struggle to bend them. there should be a more easy- less labour-solution, or? does somebody know the reason for this set up? maybe because the forward bottom skin is a high pressure area or something like that...?
