Air filters

[Rcmaster199 at aol.com]

Richard, you may be thinking of the Bru-Line filters. My local hobby shop 
still carries these and they are very inexpensive. The sponge element is better 
as an air filter/noise dampener than the 60 mesh screen that the typical Tettra 
or similar filters use. They are not as pretty as the aluminum housed 
"filters" but they are more effective overall for our needs

Anyone, 
  
When we first started trying to quiet things down, one of the areas we looked 
at was intake noise.  We used to use a stretch on filter housing with small 
filter disks that helped the noise problems with the added benefit of keeping 
crap out of the engine--gee, what a concept.  Are there any such animals 
available now?  We fly off an old asphalt runway and there is the possibility 
something significant was sucked into a brand new 170 and destroyed the piston, 
sleeve, ring and bearing.  First time for everything, I guess.  The 60 sized ones 
did not seem to affect performance. 
  
Thanks, 
  
Richard
