I have the NACA vents in the side of the cockpit wall - the work OK it the temps are not higher than the 80's - I added leading edge vents that are plumbed to eye ball vents - they work great, but I also added a exhaust outlet in the back of the fuselage at the same time to create a "thru" flow - that in itself may have been enough. Any way I'm quite pleased and it is bearable in the 90++ degree heat Houston gets in the late spring/summer.

I think that I saw a picture of a KR with leading edge vents in the wings that were turned upwards after entering the cockpit.(Like a Cessna.) Would this be O.K. or would it disturb to much airflow ? Just a thought. It won't be long before I start on the wings. Mike Sylvester kr2s builder Birmingham,AL.
