Bob, I believe that if you check out a KCAB Citabria or a Decathelon, you'll find an alternate air selector so you can switch away from the filtered air. Other aircraft later added a spring loaded flapper behind the air filter so the engine could still draw air should the filter freeze over or become plugged for any other reason. Jeff Scott
