Any rear extraction vent will not work; as proven by Doc Raspett.

 

The LS3 demonstrates this beautifully.

 

After dumping water ballast the spray is ingested through the “Exhaust” vent in 
the fins king-post and finishes up on the parcel shelf after travelling fwd.

 

Also, smoke, from a cigarette, moves forward in the cockpit of the same type.

 

Raspett discovered the correct position for venting was on the fuselage, under 
the wing, where profiles have well and truly begun to shrink.

 

A number of owners of various types chose to fit suction vents to U/C doors to 
exhaust their piss tubes.

 

Result: Seriously corroded U/C and worse if the wheel well was not sealed.

Subject: [Aus-soaring] Nim3: VH-VJS, rudder vent

 

G'day all, 

 

Just wondering whether anyone has any information, even better, pictures of 
VH-VJS's Nimbus 3 extract vent which was fitted into the rudder?

 

The glider is no longer registered, so don't know what happened to it. 
Hopefully it's still around somewhere!

 

 

Cheers,

WPP
