I’ve now added a NACA shaped vent to the forward canopy after 3D printing an angled shroud and glueing this to the inside as shown below.
The rectangular vent opening is approximately 25mm x 5mm which is more than 3x the cool nose spinner inlet area.
Now just need to tidy up & paint the shroud ramp red.

Re: Albion 5m Electric soarer
Front hatch looks a lot better after the vent has been treated to a coat of red humbrol enamel

I am having a loft clear out and have a 5M Albion fuselage which unused and needs a new home. Complete with both hatch covers.

Yes John, it has, the only problem I had was the speed controller packed up. Other than that, she flies very nicely.
