Greetings again,
How many of you are running air
filters? I never realized that Tracy doesn’t
have one. It sure doesn’t seem to be a problem for him, and he flies off
of grass where there’s more airborne dust than I’ll ever see at my paved
field. I have a filter, but haven’t mounted it in a box yet, so
now I’m thinking of skipping it.
Thanks,
Rusty

Rusty, I also have not used an air filter. I
tried one time with a KN foam filter and sucked that sucker through the 3"
diam air intake hose up to the throttle body (fortunately I have a wide mesh
stainless steel screen mesh over the throttle body). I was testing it
one the ground and knew when it happend, because the rpm suddenly dropped from
5300 to 4600 rpm.
Unless very dusty, I think you spend so little time in
the grim ridden air that any wear is minimal.
