Non Icing Tiger

463 Your Tiger had an 'automatic' carb heat system, directly controlled by the throttle lever. The carb already had a warm jacket from the exhaust system and when the throttle was closed it operated a flap that was fed by exhaust heated air. Could be flown in all conditions of temp/humidity, and very reliable.
