I finally installed Bumper's Quiet Vent. I must admit I was first a bit
intimidated by the length of the instructions, until I realized all I need to do is to stick it... It works! I can now hear my vario when the vent is open. Thanks Bumper. Ramy bumper wrote: The Quiet Vent kit has been re-designed. The new design provides the same 10 db noise reduction* as the original design. However it is more robust and less "fiddly" to install. To order, send $5 USD and a stamped, self-addressed envelope to: John Morgan 194 Taylor Creek Rd. Minden, NV 89460 Money back guarantee if you are not completely satisfied (simply return QV). Also, any original design QV that proves defective may be returned for a new design QV at no charge. * Noise reduction measured with the pop-out side vent fully open (this is the vent in the sliding Mecaplex window) and was measured at pilot's head level while at 60 knots in my ASH26E). Also available, the MKII "high tech" yaw string. Clear turbulator base, natural wool yarn - $9 USD. |

Yeah, my Quiet Vent is still sitting in my car, since it looked like it
would take all day to install it. Ramy wrote: I finally installed Bumper's Quiet Vent.

Ramy,
Thanks for the review! " . . . stick it . . .", huh?! - - grin Well, it is important to at least "stick it" on straight. Will readily admit I tend to be a bit verbose w/ instructions. After all, how could a simple "stick it" require one whole page with a picture too? Notwithstanding, if anyone doesn't get their QV stuck on just right (after reading those instructions), please return QV (with SASE) for free repair or replacement. Satisfaction is guaranteed. Winds out of the NE, so awesome ridge flying on the eastern slopes of the Sierra today . . . looks to be the same tomorrow . . . Woohooo!! all the best, bumper Minden, NV "Ramy" wrote in message ups.com... I finally installed Bumper's Quiet Vent.

I also purchased a quiet vent, it makes a substancial difference in the
noise created by the vent and I now leave mine open more often. The best $5 improvement you could make, so incredibly simple but very effective, bumper must be one clever fellow! Joe asw24 |

I too ordered and installed the Quiet Vent. I gave another to a
friend. Simple to install and well worth the money. THANKS. |

![]() I also installed one, a nice improvement. BTW I also installed Bumpers yaw string. This one has much better adhesion than standard tape, and looks really neat.

Also, any original design QV that proves defective may be returned for a new design QV at no charge. I wasn't too clear on the return-exchange policy. If you bought an old one, you don't have to wait for it to break or fail. You may simply return it for a new, better one - - free! The original Quiet Vent attached to the vent hinge block and can be recognized as the seal is flat. The original design may come loose if subjected to freezing tempertures and mechanical stress. The new improved QV design attaches to the inside surface of the flip-out vent handle (i.e. the clear adhesive strip is at the rear most edge of the QV). The new QV can be easily recognized as it is not flat, having a crease or bend next to the adhesive strip. If you purchased the original design QV, even if it is functioning properly, you may return it for a free replacement with the new, improved QV design. return to: John Morgan 194 Taylor Creek Rd. Gardnerville, NV 89460 If you haven't purchased a QV yet, and would like one, please send $5 and a SASE to the above address. If ordering from outside the US, price is $6 and no need for SASE. thank you, -- bumper ZZ (reverse all after @) "Dare to be different . . . circle in sink."
