FOD screen on a Bobcat
 

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,
Jed

Jed....I ran a screen on my Bobcat XL (kit) with a P120. I figured it was very cheap insurance....

PS...I heard it was sat on after I sold it. No screen for that.

A FOD screen is cheap protection...my P-120 powered XL has had one from day one..2003

The new Jetcat screens are more compact than the sink strainer types they used to sell.....

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.

Installed my P120SE with the new JC FOD screen. It fits fine!
