For the last 2.5 years I have had leading edge tape on all of my forward surfaces. This year I have removed it so we will see if there is any difference. I have picked up over 1.5 inches of rim ice on all of the surfaces. It was night time and I noticed a 20 kt speed reduction before I started to look around for the problem. I was at 11,500 ft. It was warmer below. At other times I have picked up any where from a frost to over an inch. At all times the only noticeable effect was a reduction in speed. Even a frost seemed to reduce the speed quite a bit. Handling remained just fine. My biggest concern is the tail. It bothers me to think about a tail stall. I believe the main wings can be handled easier. Just go faster. -- Lorn H.
