Plane is basically complete now.

I still have to set up the radio and do a couple of things here and there.
I installed the motor and prop today. This O.S .46 motor did not come with an air filter or a gasket for the muffler.

I have read that a lot of flyers dont use an air filter, but that does not make much sense to me.
The throat on the carb has no recess to keep an air filter on there looks like it gonna be a problem.
Any Ideas or particular air filters that would be good for this engine?

Also, anyone that has had this plane before:
How did you secure the fuel tank?

I dont really want to epoxy it in or glue it in any way since I may have to take it out later for some reason or another.
I was thinking about sticking a square of soft foam in there which would hold it in place.

Well, will be breaking in this engine sometime this week.

I will put of some pics of the finished plane later in the week.

Thanks
