• The Biplane Forum is a large global active community of biplane builders, owners and pilots. From Pitts to Skybolts, to older barnstormers, all types are welcome. In addition to our active community, our content boasts exhaustive technical information which is often sought after for projects and maintenance. This information has accumulated over the 12+ years the forum has been in existence.

    The Biplane Forum is a private community. Subscriptions are only $49.99/year or $6.99/month to gain access to this great community and unmatched source of information not found anywhere else on the web. We are also a great resource for non biplane users, since many GA aircraft are built the same way (fabric and tube construction). Annual membership also comes with two BiplaneForum.com decals.

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?
