Those who trouble to read it, will have noticed that for much of the last year GASCo's Flight Safety magazine has been having a "ban carb heating" campaign.

There are more than one way to do eliminate carb icing without a hot air carb heater, and FI is certainly one means. I can't help also noticing that it's almost impossible now to buy a "normally" carburated car any more, whilst small flying machines (with their ultra hi-tech 1950s technology engines) are still by and large using carbs.

Flying machine engines are, I'm afraid, a bit behind the drag curve !
