Brooke,

 

I posted the exact same question back in August. I guess that mean I'm about
2 months ahead of you. :-)

I think that I'm going to do without the additional duct up front. From what
I've heard, the overhead plenum vents put out a fair amount of air. If the
radio stack needs any additional cooling I can always put in a cooling fan.

 

Then again, I'm not locked into this position.

Does anybody have any thoughts on the necessity or advisability of a NOSE
fresh air vent in the XL?  Does the overhead plenum provide enough fresh air
or is it a good idea to have the additional one coming from the copilot side
of the nose?  I never could figure out why we have both!  Is there another
use for the vent air coming from the nose?  Before I cut another hole I
thought I would poll the  

group.   Any advice would be appreciated.

 

Thanks
