Default RE: FOD screen alternatives...


ORIGINAL: Pete737

I watched a SM F-16 build by a gentleman from poland. He placed a screen on the turbine intake duct rather than the turbine itself. It seemed much easier than building one to fit the turbine.

Are there any disadvantages to this type of system?

On my plane this wouldn't work very well. The F-16 would suck crap in through the landing gear bay. I'll be doing some kind of Walmart or Dollar Store screen
