I started building my 9A in 2002 and have been flying it since 2005.
Back in the old days of 2002-03 the airbox and airfilter installation on a carbureted lycoming was sort of jerry rigged. You had to cut a gap in the K N airfilter so it fit tightly over the carb. I was wondering if the newer FWF plans and parts had a different approach? Are builders still required to adjust the filter to fit the carb. Or is there a new better way without having to cut up the air filter and patch the hole? thanks...
