Ran into some moderate rime ice the other day that had me very concerned. My RV 10 wings, windshield prop & most likely tail feathers had about 1/2 - 3/4 inch on it. I requested and was cleared higher but the -10 struggled to climb to 13,000. The plane handled like it was in slow flight and once i came out of the cloud it seems like it took forever to shed the ice. Matter a fact when i landed an hour later i got slush balls splashing into the windshield off the cowl.
I know that flying IFR ( i am low time IFR) you will run into ice despite your best planning so my question is.....
is there any after market de ice or anti-ice systems that can be installed on the RV10?
Anybody done it and care to comment?
