I find the comments on carb icing interesting and informative.
It points out things that I didn't know.  Also, it is instructive
as to difference in training by CFIs.

When I was learning to fly, I was informed to always pull on
full carb heat anytime one is out of the green line, which is about
2000 rpm.  I learned on a Cessna 172 with a Lycoming engine.

I belong to the Tyndall AFB aeroclub (Panama City, FL) and that is still
their Standard
operating procedure.  I still fly the same plane that I soloed in and
using this technique have never had carb icing.

I can see that things are different in a Coupe.  Guess we just need
to be informed, alert, and ready.

Thanks for everyone's input.  Keep up the interchange of experiences
and info.  It will hopefully prevent personnel injury and destroyed 
Coupes.
