The molds have been tweaked a little for better fit, and the air box is now made of carbon fiber. For those not familiar with the design, it sits comfortably between the air intake and the circular baffle behind the prop, sort of flares out to each side and has a large Brackett air filter on each side, each one angled at about 45 degrees. I used it on my first ES and was quite pleased; I had good M.P. up to at least 12,000ft. Although there is no alternate air with this setup, if you get both of these large filters iced up, alternate air isn't going to help you -- you need a parachute. The air box is now available from: Rob Lueck Top Flight Service 900 Airport Road Merritt Island, FL 32952-0371 Tel: 407.449.0870, or www.topflightservice.com Discussions are apparently underway about offering it through Kit Components, but for now it's available direct for $325, which includes the filters and mounting hardware.
