As a prospective secondary buyer(non-builder), I am looking at an injected engine with horizontal induction and a cowl that does not have a snorkel. The air filter is in front of Cylinder #2 and I have concerns about flying in the rain. The model does have alternate air where air would be pulled from inside the cowl, however I am thinking the filter would still be soaked after going through the rain and funneled into the engine.
What studies, recommendations, common knowledge is in place that says the air filter (and subsequently the engine) will not be swamped with water?
With a previous model (I owned) that did have a snorkel, rain was eliminated completely from the air filter when the snorkel was closed off by means of activating the alternate air.
