Hi guys,

This is a question especially for those of you who have or planning on =
building an enclose cockpit (especially for the f16), i.e. with a =
canopy. How do you deal with temperature that will bound to build up =
within the pit?

Heat generated from all the electronics, backlid panels, extra monitors =
(If you are not using a projector) and your own body heat

The only reason why I want to have a canopy is not for aesthetic but for =
"Sound proofing" myself when I talk over RW (because I share room).I =
dont want to "premanently" sound proofing myself by suffercating myself =
from within the cockpit. Turning the pit into a coffin :)=20

To make matter worse I live in a flat where I cant break any walls to =
put in a ducted reverse cycle air cond... I have grills and bars on my =
windows to keep out intruders so no way I can put in a wall/window =
mounted air cond. My only hope would be a portable air conditioner or =
one of those evaporative coolers...modify it and throw an inlet into the =
pit.

My second question would be, evaporative coolers, are they any effective =
in cooling the inner space of the f16 pit? because the price of one of =
them is like 1/10 of a portable air conditioner.

Would love to hear all of your thoughts :)
