• 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.

Hi all,

In my search for an S1S, I've seen an airplane with the airflow performance system installed, but to my great surprise, the seller did not put any air filter in front of it so bugs an mosquitoes are going straight into the engine... I asked the seller why he kept it thay way and he answered that most aircraft equipped with airflow performance systems, including the big boys with Extras do not put air filters at all.

Is any of you having such setup? Did you ever get any problem such as high silicium in your oil analysis? Any other risks/concerns?

Thanks a lot!
