Anybody done this?
When I First started flying I noticed that when I close the vents, air comes from the back. I thought this was coming from the flap-rod-holes. So I checked it with the baggage side panels removed and found a lot of air coming through the triangular openings in the rear baggage bulkhead. OK, that is easy to seal!
So now I have sealed that, yesterday a cold day, I feel the air coming out between the seats from the openings under the flap motor box.
I think that I am just moving the problem around! If I close the openings in that area, the cold air will probably turn up coming out of the stick boots area.
So what would be a good solution? Right!...., the same thing I have on the aileron control tubes!
Easy access would be at the rear F-710 bulkhead, but It will need a big ?boot? and leaves 4 big holes to be sealed on the aft deck and rear F-709 bulkhead.
Maybe better the hole in the F-706B rear fuselage bulkhead? Or the hole in the F-705A rear spar attach bulkhead?
Has anybody done this? It will not be easy on a finished plane, I guess?
