Carb icing
Chugging along in my aircraft this morning I noticed a slight roughness in the donk. As Stansted ATIS were giving a temp of 11 deg and a dew point of 9 deg a burst of hot air seemed to be called for and it did the trick. I then gave it a go for about 20 seconds every 15 minutes or so and the problem didn't re-occur. However the point of this post is to enquire if there are known engine/airframe combinations that are more prone to carb ice than others? I believe the small Continentals can be a handful , I fly behind a Lycoming 0-235-C2A but as the only other application is in a Brazilian crop-sprayer I don't suppose there is too much knowledge in the UK on the type.
