For the last 2.5 years I have had leading edge tape on all of my
forward surfaces. This year I have removed it so we will see if there
is any difference.
I have picked up over 1.5 inches of rim ice on all of the surfaces.
It was night time and I noticed a 20 kt speed reduction before I
started to look around for the problem. I was at 11,500 ft. It was
warmer below. At other times I have picked up any where from a frost
to over an inch. At all times the only noticeable effect was a
reduction in speed. Even a frost seemed to reduce the speed quite a
bit. Handling remained just fine.
My biggest concern is the tail. It bothers me to think about a tail
stall. I believe the main wings can be handled easier. Just go faster.
