Re: [Titanaircraft] 912S Carb Deicing

Sorry, I missed the original post.

Yep. I have them. VERY easy to install. I have no on/off valve, they're
just on all the time. I may be losing some power if the air gets heated,
but my personal opinion is that it's not hanging around long enough to
get very warm.

I've never flown without them, so I have no comparison - but I've
definitely never had carb ice. I can touch the carbs after I land.
They're warm but not hot.
