Hmmm.....I believe that the Cessna 310Rs and 402B I used fly are now all nixed, and they had hot plates, heated stall vanes, etc. Not arguing with you, I do appreciate the input. Just very surprised.
PS I see the link in the article of affected planes. My bad! Thanks for your patience. Also curious why the C337 was good to go entirely.
