Hi Clive,

I REALLY discourage the use of any filter that has a small suface area. In addition to all the stories in the past newsletters, I have had one off field landing (in my Q1) due to filter contamination. I had found and installed some REALLY cool looking little filters. After the off-field landing, I found that a VERY small amount of debris had completely plugged the filter. I only use large metal filters now. I replace at every annual and cut them apart to see how much junk I collected - there is always more than I expect. Jon -----Original Message-----
