Okay, everyone has me convinced my engine won't die if I fly in rain, but now I have a question about air intake filters.

 

Wouldn't it be true that if I had a filter in my 2 1/4" intake tube, that it could freeze up or clog faster than if I had no air filter into my carb?  If I did have a filter, It might stop a bird but at 200 mph, that is doubtful but then again the prop might make the best air filter of all.

 

I'd like some opinions on that.

 

Thanks.
