While I was searching for info on FOD screens I came across an old post by LUGEBOB.

He had made his own FOD screen out of a pencil holder. It was about seven times the surface area of a normal FOD screen.

Since I am only running a P-80 would there be any benefit to making something like that myself?

The P-80 will be used in a scale model of Craig Breedlove's "Spirit of America" Jet Car.

It will be appx four feet long and weigh appx 45 pounds. The air intakes will be from two inches to six inches

off the ground. Since the P-80 and any FOD svreen will be totally hidden inside the bodywork. I am not worried about appearance.

I may even fit screen over the inside of entire air intake section. Is there a formula that I can lug my sq. in. numbers into?
