On cars,,,of which I had some experience in the decade of the 80's
many cars had very poor positive crankcase ventilation filters.
To my simple mind it always seemed more important to filter the air
going into the crankcase where dust must be removed by the oil filter
as compared to the intake air which spends a VERY short time in the
combustion chamber.
As for me and my airplane we filter the carb heated air and taxi on a
dusty strip with the carb heat ON thus making sure the carb is always
nice and warm and then shortly after applying full throttle on take
off I close the carb heat and I KNOW it will not ice up for a least a
few minutes until I am safely in the air.
Now of course this is all contrary to what I was taught by the flying
club,,,but what do I know.

Is the glass half full or half empty?
