Thanks, it helps me convince myself that a shop full of strange parts is potentially an airplane

I recently updated my post about the air intake. I'm using a BA-supplied heat box, which has a fairly big filter for a 4-cylinder engine. I'm happy with how it turned out, although assembly was challenging due to the filter undercutting the skin. The many intersecting shapes made it difficult to visualize. This information may be useful to others, as there isn't much documentation available yet for this part of the build.
