Hey guys, I just picked up a gently used 50 v1 with an os fx .46. this is my first nitro aircraft. I have many nitro cars and trucks and run good filters on them all. the carb on the os has a detent ring around the inlet to retain a filter, is there one that fits or is this something not really used? I live in farm country and we do have a fair amount of dust during the summer/fall months. so I guess my question is where can i find a raptor specific filter?

Thanks
Slim

I have never seen a filter on a raptor.

That's a really old motor.... Air filter is not needed, Years ago I had a Bru line filter on my o.s 32, took it off, just a useless item, you might want to replace that motor with something a little more up to date....

gently used- piston and sleeve still look fresh.

but yeah as the rebuild goes along i will be picking up a larger motor. thanks for the info guys!

Take some old pantyhose cut to fit.And double up if you want to.

just my 2 cents= you don't need an air filter. unless your going to hover in a baseball diamond,and creating a lot of dust. Cars are on the ground.
helis are in the air.. Don't overthink it. Have some fun.
