Question

Hi guys,

We don't get much ice here in South Africa, except maybe a bit of hoare frost in the middle of winter an the middle of the night.

What I would like your opinions on is this - can one use avgas to clean the wings of frost? It melts any frost and may keep them frost free long enough to get airborne, and it works(I think) on the same principle as de-icing fluids.

Just a thought.
