Thanks a lot for info you sent me.



I read all but I still have some questions



If I fly out of clouds, fog, any moisture 4000 ft altitude in temperature -5 to +5 with full carb. heat, do I have risk of engine failure? Can I expect blade icing?

With full carb heat I have about 23 inches of power in these temperatures or less because of carb heat?

What condition I never should to fly?

I do not have there RH and dew point info do u know any other solution to get possibility of any factor risky for flight?

Where exactly can I see icing on ski and what color?

In the morning do I have to preheat the engine with some fan?

When I start up and warming is it better to put carb heat full on?



Any other advice from experience you have will be a lot of help



Thanks

also send me your email, i have a lot of info about winter flying from Jonny.

=== with full carb heat you don't have a risk of engine failure because of carb icing - may be some different reasons not depends on the weather conditions. Blade icing depends on temp. and humidity (incl. dew point)

With full carb heat I have about 23 inches of power in these temperatures or less because of carb heat?
=== your MAP depends on temperature IN CARB, not in air out. So use pressure with carb temp.

What condition I never should to fly?
=== in thunderstorm in the mountains in the night

I do not have there RH and dew point info do u know any other solution to get possibility of any factor risky for flight?
=== didn't understand the question

Where exactly can I see icing on ski and what color?
=== I'll take a picture and send you in few days (the weather will change, today there are no icing conditions)

In the morning do I have to preheat the engine with some fan?
=== yes, I do this if the temp. is below -5C

When I start up and warming is it better to put carb heat full on?
=== after engine is started - I pull the carb heater immediately up

Any other advice from experience you have will be a lot of help
=== It's a lot to discuss You'd rather come to Russia for flying with us - we'll show you everything

Also I advise you to have Robinson Pilots Factory Safety course - it's really good! I had it in July-2009 and now I'm arranging the course in Russia 17-20 April 2010 with Tim Tucker (Robinson Chief Pilot).

контролировать лыжу и кое-что еще...
