Although the carb heat system from Skydrive is very good, it is quite
expensive (c200).
Would it work to divert the hot air from the cockpit heating system into the
plenum chamber, via a simple valve such as the cockpit heating system
already uses? I know this would affect the engine performance in the same
way as the application of carb heat does on 'normal' aircraft, when it feeds
hot air through the carbs, but it might be a very cost-effective way of
dealing with icing if it arose?
Any thoughts? Maybe someone's done this already?
