Brothers,


I'm at the last stage of building and need to finalize my air intake. Using a IO-360 - 200hp engine with a forward mounted Bendix I thought I would take advantage of the "ram air" effect with a duct straight in from the nose bowl. To that end I made a air intake and bypass air selector (see photo).






But thinking about it now, I wondered if I should be using some sort of filter.
Anybody seen a nice looking filter assembly? Becket or other? I don't want to look like a C152 with a little square box hanging off the nose. I did buy the Van's airbox that's mounted in the front baffles. This would work OK but again I would like some ram air effect.


Anybody?
