That was exactly what was running through my mind at the time. Funny thing is I looked in the air box a few times with the flash light and didn't see it. I stuck a magnet in the air box after searching everywhere I could think of, heard a click and there it was stuck in the corner at the rear of the box.

Edit: Most people would have given up and found another screw. After 4 years of F.O.D walks on the flight line and learning what damage a tiny screw can do do if ingested by an F-16 intake or lost in a cockpit I never give up looking. Although the RX3 is far from a jet fighter it still matters to me.
