Default New Vent!

I experienced the reaction of several pilots to Paul's AS-W20 vent
mod, all positive. First saw this kit in Hank's shop. Looked at my
vent parts when I was up at Williams the other day.
To hopefully answer Andy's question: The largest part (the scoop
from the canopy rail to the hard mounted outer part) is removable.
Velcro onto the canopy frame and a ring of foam sealing the throat
where it slides into the outer part. It will take some room in the
baggage compartment, but not most of it.
In my 27 I won't be able to use much of the scoop, since there's an
"E" Oxygen bottle in the upper baggage compartment and currently an
APRS black box strapped on top of it.
Regarding flatulence, it's more about moving hot air (including that
I've generated in this forum) since many of us fly where it gets
bloody hot.
"More beans, Mr. Taggart?"

Looks nice but where do I put all the stuff that now sits in the over-
spar storage area? *I don't think I want to discard my landout kit so
I can fit a vent system that has an unknown (to me) performance
advantage.
