It is nice to build on somebody else's experience especially in a new aircraft. We expect to have my XL-RG done by mid summer and I was wondering about the effects of icing and where it would start and build on the airframe.<BR>Thanks and safe flying<BR>Steve</FONT> </FONT></FONT></BLOCKQUOTE></BODY></HTML>
