Has anyone installed a tail vent in a DG-300? Ventilation is weak from
the nose vent (especially since canopy sealed) and it appears air
doesn't have a path out the tail boom. Bulkhead behind pilot has
adequate vent holes into the boom. However, there is a bulkhead at the
fin-boom junction, so it looks like any vent would have to be placed
forward of this. Thinking a 1-1/4" diameter vent could be installed on
the fuse underside a few feet forward of this bulkhead. Anyone's input
appreciated...

Drilling a hole of that size in that location is something you don't want to
do without talking to the manufacturer.
