Subject: Pietenpol-List: carb ice, side noteMost certainly, humid days, warmer humid days are prime conditions for carb icing.Often times I'll land after flying in the summer time and you can actually seefrost onthe outside of the carb throat or tons of water droplets/condensation. If youput your handon it, it feels like the carb was in a fridge ! I apply carb heat far more oftenthan I probablyshould and am surprised I haven't worn out my carb heat cable yet but I'd ratherover-do the heatthat get caught behind with some ice build up.
