Interesting to hear the consensus that it does not suffer icing in flight, which is not what I think I have experienced.

I have noticed the the temp does drop significantly after I reduce power to 19 or 20, so I tend to leave the carb heat on particularly if there is moisture in the air.

Other than the drop in rpm which I can compensate, what other negative effects are there on the 912 caused by leaving the heat on?
