Hints

  • The governor control cable needs to be routed across the top of the engine. The manual states "Reroute the prop governor control cable over the top of the engine utilizing the Van’s Aircraft bracket, part no. VA-153-PA or VA-183-PC (depending on your need). Note in the photos that the bracket may require modification to clear the pushrod tube." Neither of those parts are in the Vans store. Part VA-153-PC exists and looks like the one in the manual. Needs to be verified.
     
  • The Airflow AC comes with a replacement for the top part of the baggage compartment bulkhead close-out. It is a flat part and has cut-outs for the air intake and cut-outs for two cold air output vents.
    With this setup, it becomes optional to feed an overhead panel with cold air but there is a third outlet at the evaporator to feed an overhead panel. Note: The instructions still show a corrugated part but the kit contains a flat bulkhead close-out.
     
    Note: if you install the BRS parachute, two brackets block the area in the bulkhead for feeding air into the overhead console. So either just go with the two close-out vents or feed the air into the overhead console from the side / holes in the bulkhead more towards the sides.
