I posted a thread on how Boeing has restricted their 747 and Dreamliners from within 50 miles of any thunderstorms with the chance of icing and it was deleted for unknown reasons.
The reason for the post was that Boeing found ice where they didn't think could form. To me, that is something to look at very carefully. I have been a passenger in a light twin that turned into a popsicle between Aspen and Crested Butte. I believe this is an issue that deserves discussion and not be deleted by someone with an agenda. There are many places on an RV that ice would be a very bad thing.
I would like to know if anyone has tried the new products that put a coating on that repels water so well, ice won't form. I know there wes discussion several months ago but I haven't seen reports of how effective it was.
I am also interested in carb ice and peoples thoughts on carb vs FI. Being in a very cold area, maybe I should change to FI before I even start flying my plane. Is the typical set up for carb ice ok in Colorado? Maybe since it i so dry out here, there isn't as big of a problem as I believe?
If you want to see the article on the ice restrictions on the 747, I guess you will have to look that up.
Thanks for the info.
