There is one item that I feel I should mention. This has to do with what happens if the filter gets wet. If you can see in the picture, the airflow through the filter is such that the screen would catch any of the filter element if it somehow came loose. =20 Also, there will be a spring-loaded door that would open if the element became clogged. =20 Mark S. -----Original Message----- From: Rotary motors in aircraft [mailto:flyrotary@lancaironline.net] On Behalf Of Ed Anderson Sent: Tuesday, April 19, 2005 9:24 AM To: Rotary motors in aircraft Subject: [FlyRotary] Re: flyrotary_Web_Archive Impressive piece of work, Mark Ed A ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mark R Steitle" To: "Rotary motors in aircraft" Sent: Tuesday, April 19, 2005 10:01 AM Subject: [FlyRotary] Re: flyrotary_Web_Archive Bill, Here is a picture of the "work in progress". It is missing the final piece that covers the filter element and transitions back to the TB. I had a pic of the finished product, but it appears to have disappeared from my files. I can take another tonight and send it tomorrow. I had planned to put a bypass flapper valve in the system to switch from filtered to ram air. I still need to do that.

Without realizing it, I have designed in a trap to separate larger particles as you have described. It also has a flap for ram air at higher altitudes & speeds. I carved the mold out of blue foam, then glassed over it. Once cured, I removed the foam. Probably not a task for the fiberglass challenged builder, but not all that difficult to do either.
