Ed,
Did you ever get that air filter for the engine installed? If (the cockpit was immediately  filled with dust and debris (straw mostly) blown out of the duct hose) then the same was likely being sucked through your engine.

It was starting to get warm so I opened one of the eyeball ventilation vents (did I mention that the construction had stirred up a LOT of dust) and the cockpit was immediately  filled with dust and debris (straw mostly) blown out of the duct hose.  The dust immediately (static electricity?) coated the inside of the canopy which facing into the sun dropped visibility to near zero.  Immediately turned 90 deg to the direction of the sun and could again see out the canopy. 
 
Finally the dust and straw stopped flying and I  had a soft cloth to wipe off the canopy. So continued the flight. .rr.com
