Brief Description:  NASA Vents - Front - Dual Installation - Part 1

Seems that Van's only pre-punches a NASA vent in the Left side of the fuselage and that a fresh air intake for the Right side is "optional". So, with some careful paper-doll cutting, I was able to replicate a simlar vent on the Right side. The plans say to just use Proseal to bond the plastic vent to the fuselage wall. I opted to add 4 rivets to help hold it on and to make sure a good seal is formed when the Proseal is applied. Both sides came out very nice!
