Serge,
There is a Yahoo group for the Russia. Do a search for AC4 at the Yahoo groups home. With reference to your cooling issues. Do you have a deflector that redirects the forward vent air towards you as opposed to sending it straight up towards the forward canopy? Easy to make and effective. Pictures at the Yahoo group. Second, the removeable round bulkhead close-out directly behind the tow hook can be removed and a few holes drilled into it for cooling air over your lower legs. It is non structural and made of very light ply. 8 or 10 holes suffice. Third, I have built a small scoop attached to a office style black metal clip that clips onto the edge of my sliding window. Works GREAT! Easy to make and can be sized according to your cooling needs. BTW - There is a NEW dealer in the US!!! New ship sales and support.

Cheap, effective, puts the air exactly where you need it, retractable. Little drag penalty at thermallig speeds, where the nose scoop is ineffective. At cruising speeds, the nose scoop works OK and you can close the side vent. Ian |
