I fly the Q in Europe and we get good icing also here. No issues.
As for the safety record of the airplane, it's been good to what I know. Making sure that we understand the last gear issues were more a maintenance issue a a particular airline...
The airplane has a lot of power to keep it aloft when icing. This one is not an issue.
As for the lawsuit, it is sad. I understand when people want the know the "truth" about what happened to loved ones. I would hate to think it s just for $$$.
