I use an inline filter on all my racers. As long as it's not clogged, it won't effect fuel feed. If it gets clogged, consider that it saved all that dirt from going through your engine. Here's the filter I use, along with instructions for it, and a picture of it installed on a Q40. As the instructions say, you should backflush the filter after every day of flying to keep it clear.

Thanks. You hardly ever see those filters on any q500 racer pics. Made me woder why, cause not using it, I would just cause problems.
