I have a P70 on the plane with not much room for a screen. If someone is running one with one what are you using or with the way the engine is semi protected not worry about it.
Thanks,

I originally ran the engines on my Bobcat without a FOD screen, coz Uncle Bob said to do it that way.
A $400+ pebble convinced me otherwise.
Many of the commercial FOD screens didn't fit the Bobcat at the time, so I just went to my local hardware store and picked up a sink strainer, a big rubber grommet that will fit over the starter, and some thin rubber sheet. See e.g. http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/m_35...tm.htm#3537832

Thanks guys,
I have made my own FOD screen for my Titan on my F22 and p80's on other airframes. The Bobcat with P70 on it is a very tight space, so will the Jetcat screen be the best choice? Without haveing to cut on the fuselage.
