Hmm... just a light misting of frost on a Cherokee wing? Probably not worth
losing too much sleep over unless you really need every last drop of
performance. I understand it's much more important on wings that rely on
more laminar flow like a Cirrus or Mooney.

I do have a question. First a little background.

I fly a PA28-180. It is hangered.

Sometimes we fly in the late afternoon and land just after dark at our
destination. We come back to the plane to find the wings covered with a
light coating of frost and we need to depart ASAP for different
reasons. This is not a good thing (the frost).

Is there some product that can be carried and sprayed on the wings and
tail surfaces to immediately de-ice the plane? I have been looking at
various catalogs and haven't seen anything.
