Hmmm, sounds like I need to try a few the next time out with my instructor.

First time I've ever heard of a Cherokee icing. It's never happened to me,
even in the damp, cold Midwest. (Cessnas are another story...)
Yep, I was surprised as well but on several instrument lessons at night,
I'd be flying a DME arc or a hold and all of a sudden realize that I'm
holding some back pressure to maintain altitude...look at the tach and
notice that we've lost maybe 150 RPM. Apply carb heat, power drops then
vrooommm, we're back at the initial power setting.

Pride of ownership is worth all the headaches and hassles. (Just keep
repeating that at annual time, over and over...)
I'll try to remember this one.
