Here is a picture of Bernie's intake.  It is made from fiberglass wrapped around bicycle inter tubes that were filled with sand to hold the twisted shape.  Bernie said that the only problem he had was getting the tube out of the fiberglass when it cured.  Maybe he could chime in here and give the full story on there creation.

Has any one made an intake from composite?  I thought Ed did but I am not
sure on the limitations.  Does the fuel/air mix pose a threat to the
integrity of a composite intake? Backfire? Combustible? For those of us that
built their airframes from composite it might be easier than welding.  Just
a thought.
