Well I did something stupid today

[CaveDrone]

Now it’s my turn.......... if my M2P will go 3 miles out, Will it go 3 miles up ?
No, I would not but an argument at work needs to be settled ........

Nope

I've read that rain X on the props works also. But I haven't tried or tested this.

Works great with cheap filters

Don’t forget to apply several layers and allow cure time between.
Top and bottom of props by the way

Or at least rebuild it with a 4 barrel Holley!

LOL!

Does prop composition (plastic, nylon, carbon fiber, etc.) have any effect on icing?

Not here in Florida

Hello Slim Slamma. So the fine print on the Rain X bottle says not to use it on plastics. You had no problem using it on your props correct?

No, normally in the Cessna we just add some carb heat when we keep adding throttle and don't get an increase on power.....

I can't believe I was so dumb that I didn't take into consideration the dew point and temperature when I was getting ready to fly the drone.... as it is something I have to do when I fly a plane.

If you read a weather report for an airport, or a forecast or even call in to an AWOS ( try RWS at 239 561 0966 to hear one) they give you the temp and dew point so you are aware of the chance of icing..... and if you know the formula you can use the spread between the temp. and dew point to determine where the cloud ceiling is.

I am just hoping I didn't damage the motor

This is why I set one of the custom buttons to activate the carb heat on my Air. The other one controls the cowl flaps.
