Another great advantage of this aircraft will be no carb icing! Although I have over 2,000 hours in Robbos in the UK I was reminded of that hazard when I read a recent article by Dick Sanford about carb icing with particular reference to R22/R44 - It is not peculiar to Robbos of course, but the article reminded me how scared all of us should be who fly piston engine carb helicopters, especially in Western Europe.

I think that people who design and fly helicopters in California can forget how easy carb icing is elsewhere.
