The 912S with XS cold air plenum can DEFINITELY get carb ice, don't
doubt it for a moment, both on the ground and in the air. The Skydrive
carb heat clears the ice quickly once turned on. We only turn it off
when we expect to do a hot start after a flight, letting the carbs cool
on the taxi to the ramp after landing.
