Brief Description: Position NACA Vents on Fuselage
I could not find anything definitive on other build sites for positioning these NACA vents. Matter of fact I have seen them mounted all over the place in this upper area of the fuselage side. So, after some research I chose this location. It keeps them clear of the rudder pedal mounts, They are forward enough to let the scat tubing attach and clear the F602 bulkhead vertical metalwork. And, even though I am not running my fuel vents above these, there is room to run that line up and over the NACA vent. I am coiling my fuel vent tube between the wing and the fuselage where I will put the vent fitting in the bottom of the wing. Having the vertical lines on the NACA vent parallel to the firewall made sense rather than squaring off against the sloping top skin line. I cut out the paper template, positioned it, taped it here and there and traced the inner and outer lines. Drilled holes along the inner curved lines and then used the dremel cutoff wheel to slowily cut out the entire shape. Filed the edges with a medium then fine file and scotchbrited everything. Next up will be pro sealing them in place.
