Hello everyone. It's getting a little chilly around here now; I have seen
the "ventubes" that are being sold for $75 apiece. Has anyone simply
taped
over the inlet in the wing root? I was thinking of giving this a try,
seeing that there is no real need for cold air ventilation at this time of
year.

My Cessna vents were made 58 years ago and don't leak a bit. Rebuild them
with new felt and they should work just like new.
