That is the he same airbox we have . My original question was. Is this normal to see the air temp in the airbox under the filter 20 degrees Celsius above ambient temperature. This is not right. Every other airplane in the world ducts cold ambient air directly to the carb .

I think they call that a 915 .This one is not turboed. I'll take a picture of the airbox .You can tell me if that is part of the kit .

Not turbo .

A friend recently bought a Savannah and I have to say it is one of the nicest handling aircraft I have flown. It has a Rotax 914 and I assume a factory air box. Very large and professionally built. An issue we have is the air box temperature is quite hot, 20 degrees above ambient. The baffles are working in fact I disconnected the hose coming from the muffler. The cool air inlet has a scat hose running to just behind the prop. There has to be some power loss by running air to the carbs at 40c. Any suggestions.
