RE: [FlyRotary] air filters?
About air filters:
I flew a while with a cheap foam filter, the kind that has a cup shaped foam piece help in shape by a spring. Anyways the filter was on (below) a Continental O(il leak)-200 and eventually saturated with engine oil to the point that it blocked too much airflow and the thing got sucked into the intake tube. Compressed foam does not let through a whole bunch of air. So I staggered along at a 100 mph to the next airport because the engine lost most of its power.
 
So keep those filters from collapsing.
 
regards
 
Marko
