Actually, its a little more than that.  What I have in mind is an intake box
that provides for both filtered air or ram air at the pilot's option.  They
have a very nice setup like this on the Columbia 300 but I'm told it is not
available for use on kit planes.  Lancair has been promising an airbox for
some time now but nothing ever happens.  Yes, I could build it myself and
probably will (actually someone else is building it for me) but its an
essential item and you would think that Lancair would make it available.
