Actually you can get them. no one uses them because they aren't on the ground long enough to suck much dust into them and they are cheap to rebuild versus the maintain of a filter

I really believe the prop 'filters' all the dust out of the air permitting unlimited climbs and because the air is now pure, the fuel consumption is almost nil! I know this is true because I read it on the internet the other day!

Spaceworm. Of course SHE took them off first. Happened to be an old pair with runs in them. Didn't check the car's filter before or after. BTW, the hose make good filters for paint before putting it into the sprayer.
