Here is a link to an Air Accident Investigation Branch Report on an engine failureI had just after take off in February this year here in UKI too thought that descent was the real 'catch me' for Carb icing. It isn't asyou can read.My engine is a standard Continental A75 in a Corben Junior.RegardsGerryhttp://www.aaib.gov.uk/publications/bulletins/ ... ______Date: Fri, 8 Jun 2012 12:24:21 -0700 (PDT)

I had a Cessna 120 for about ten years.. the manual actually had you turn the carbheat on before takeoff and off as you got to full power on the roll.it had a c90 and it was an ice maker... twice i thought i was going to land prematurely... once over a plowed field near toledo and another time i was 7000feet above an airport in indiana.. no fear on that one.both times with heat and sinking to warmer air things cleared up... it happens fast when conditions are righti hope the full time heat on my A works !jeffRead this topic online here:http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.p ... __________
