De-Icing Used?
Wondering about how to de-ice before flight.
Wondering if anyone has used any of the "de-icing" windshield wash on their wings etc. for de-icing purposes.
Read some reviews on the stuff you can buy in spray bottles as well as gallons for windshield de-icers. The reviews say they haven't seen any paint issues.
Wondering if the Prestone or Rain-X windshield de-icers work on aircraft surfaces?
How about bearings at the flaps, ailerons etc., any damage?
Probably don't want to get any on the canopy for sure as they have methanol in them.
Checked at Aircraft Spruce-most de-icers cost a fortune but have Isopropyl alcohol and ethylene glycol as main ingredients.
What type of de-icer have you used in the past?
Best regards,
