• The Biplane Forum is a large global active community of biplane builders, owners and pilots. From Pitts to Skybolts, to older barnstormers, all types are welcome. In addition to our active community, our content boasts exhaustive technical information which is often sought after for projects and maintenance. This information has accumulated over the 12+ years the forum has been in existence.

    The Biplane Forum is a private community. Subscriptions are only $49.99/year or $6.99/month to gain access to this great community and unmatched source of information not found anywhere else on the web. We are also a great resource for non biplane users, since many GA aircraft are built the same way (fabric and tube construction). Annual membership also comes with two BiplaneForum.com decals.

I am looking at the possibilities of a fresh air system for when I have the full Steen canopy closed.

Considering the possibility of cutting holes in the side panel and installing two NACA inlets, one for front and one for back seat. Or one, If I can figure out a Y connector for the black cat hose.
A picture of my idea attached.

I will have to go with a 1 1/2 inch CAT hose because it needs to thread between the side panel and the fuselage frame.

I haven't figured out where the rear outlet is going to be yet.

Maybe I can find the trap door inlet (or two), that way I can close the inlet from my remote position.

If anyone can suggest options for getting fresh air, that would be appreciated. Thanks.
I am sure I am not going where no man as gone before!
