There articles in the old NL's for how to install the rear canopy vent . I however like the "eyeball vents" via a NACA inlet . Allows me to blow cool air on the face on a hot day . In fact "any" air blowing on a hot day is good ! :o I do wish I had gone with the larger eyeball vents for a little more flow . ;) BOOM !

I use eyeball vents fed from holes in the leading edges of the wing out by the fold. Mine will blow a map out of your hand. Quite adequate down here in sunny Florida.
