What drawing shows the vent inlets on a 7?

[JakeLewis22]

I'm probably blind but does anyone know which drawing shows the installation of the plastic cabin vent inlets on an RV7?

They're on a sketch...

I believe, Jake. At least that's what I was given for my -6. Look for the sketches at the end of the chapter's instructions.

Glad to hear you're getting back into it. Let me know if you need any photos.

On the -7 Preview set...

...Drawings 24, 24A, and 28. No specific dimensions are given for the vent location. Just position above the longeron and clear of the rudder pedal mounting blocks.

I have this if it helps.

Thanks!

Thanks for the replies. Position is not an issue because the hole is already in the side skin but the drawing Vlad sent answers one of the questions I had. It shows an aluminum strip backing up the plastic vent. I was also wondering if there was a recommended number of rivets and their layout but I doubt that it's that critical.

Thanks again!

Brian, how long is so far?

Has anyone with a flying airplane had any problems with the proseal only method? If not, how long has it been flying?
