Re: carb ice revisited

      Roger,
      In the nearly three years we've operated our Allegro 2000 w/ 912UL, I've had carb
      ice develop twice in flight. Both times it was at normal cruise power around
      5,000 rpm on warm humid days. Noticing it quickly, it is easy enough to clear
      by cycling the throttle open/close a couple of times. If you don't notice it
      quickly and don't clear it out, it can build up pretty fast and lead to serious
      loss of power. 
      
      It is not a bad idea to install carb heat but we chose not to do so... yet.
