337G is an unknown quantity at this point
Icing

Since I have not had any experience in the 337 with regards to icing can any one out there answer for me this question from a friend who has been flying a 337 for a few months now and is also pretty green when it comes to flying the 337 in icing conditions. Information about Your experience with the plane in these conditions is much appreciated!

" in regards to icing - I simply turn around if I can't make it melt away by changing altitudes. On Friday I ran into freezing rain that was not expected. I turned around , changed my flight plan, and diverted to P.A. An hour and a half later a Barron came into P.A. with about 1/2 inch of ice covering the first 16" of everything on the airplane. He encountered the ice exactly where I had. Seeing all that ice leads me to ask just how much ice is too much? What are the capabilities of a 337 compared to the Barron, and so on? I'M ALL EARS. Do you continue to fly into a known icing condition, expected or not"?

Cheers
