REFLECTOR: Nose Fresh Air Vent

[aminetech at bluefrog.com]

I have adequate cooling from the overhead NACA.  I have 2 uses for the copilot side nose vent.  One is cooling air for my oil filter.  The second is cooling air for the pilot side duct so the oil lines don't heat the cabin during summer.  I like the idea that was mentioned of a bilge blower for cooling during taxi.  That is very important.  However I find having the door open works fine for that.

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
