Question

Low'

So are you saying the RR and the Conti are equally prone (if thats the right word) to carb icing?
I've just bought into a 172M with a Lycoming O-320-E2D. I've heard good things about this but the others in the group say this she's prone to icing, particularly on the ground (I guess because of the idle revs). Are they all just prone or are some particularly worse than others?

Cheers
