sunnysky is an unknown quantity at this point
Just to add my bit to the icing debate. I fly a 337 G in Europe and have had several ice encounters. The boots do help, but ice forms elsewhere too. One problem area is the rear engine air intake which must attract a lot of ice as evidenced by the increase in cht's and oil temperatures. I have found this very limiting for continued flight.
No one has mentioned the prop de ice. Presumably the electric boots and rear exhaust does a good job.
Sunnysky.
