REFLECTOR: Looking for Roof NACA Vent Documentation for SE (Mel Bina)

[Bachman, Jonathan]

It's doing fine.  Made some improvements
- split the nose gear door into 2 so that alternate extensions would function.  Before only the mains would fall.
- Added main gear doors
- changed rear oil cooler/scoop arrangement
- Fixed some engine oil leaks
     Main seal, oil return lines, etc.  Still one, I think, to go.
- Added intake air filter with y-valve to unfiltered ram air (cockpit selectable)
- Added fuel shutoff valve
- recessed sump drain

Other than a minor oil leak and some case blow-by it's flying well.
The mode 3/C transponder seems week and I think quits after a while in flight
And the right side feeds before the left - but I'm used to that

I'm trying to decide whether to sell it and get something easier for my wife to get into and out of.  The XLs are nice but pricey

How are things with you?
