The 912S CAN suffer carb icing, and just becuase you have never experienced
it doesn't mean it doesn't exist. The classic cowling is less suceptable to
the problem I believe. I experienced it over Florida in the XS 912S trigear
company plane and its a little strange with a Rotax.

No doubt: every system works!
Why?Because I think 912 does not know carb icing. 600h flying in the alps in
summer and winter I never had icing troubles at low descent rate
(1000ft/min max and 4000rpm mini.)
I am afraid there is often confusion beteewn carb icing and misfiring or
fuel alimentation .
May be that's not true for 912S

Hello,
I know this system, the big problem is the permanent upload charge of
electrical network during service 60w.
Personnaly I use Skydrive since 250 hours (I am very happy)and the two
main advantage are:
1 no electrical consumption
2 Permanent service (I had a valve into the cowling for shut down but I
never used)
Monowheel N145

I recently commented on the Skydrive vs the ST Aviation carb heater
option.
Here is the link for the ST version. There is a photo showing how it is
fitted.
