Jim I built my own XCSoar glide computer (Raspberry Pi 2B) and I added a 40mm DC fan underneath the case running at reduced speed (couple of diodes in series) for ventilation. The biggest source of heat in my case is the 7 inch, 1000 nit touch screen. I'm sure an Open Vario case could be modified in a similar way to sort out heat issues. I didn't run into any RFI issues with the fan but YMMV. That sounds pretty cool! Does it work well? Do you have any details/photos?
