What are the rules regarding known = icing and=20 experimentals.
 
I don't know the real answer to that = but I THINK=20 the answer is
you'll never get an experimental = approved for known=20 icing.
 
Part of (the main part) of known icing=20 certification as it was explained
to me is that the airplane has to = continue flying=20 xx (20?) minutes after
a complete de-ice system failure at yy = droplet size=20 at zz accumulation rate.
 
I'd guess that's a flunk for any skinny = wing=20 plastic airplane.
 
On the other hand, where I live, you = are not going=20 anywhere in the winter without
going through a few thousand feet of = cloud that is=20 in the ice making temp range.
 
Leaving out the freezing rain days, = clear ice days,=20 and ice to the ground days,
de-ice capability would make an = operational=20 difference.
