I don't care if you write a novel and include cad drawing. It's still not

Maybe you should argue with historical fact instead of novels
or CAD drawings. Might learn something. Here's just one example

I don't need to research anything Dan, I told you I have experienced it
personally on more than one occasion and found your statement to be false.
Especially in the context that you initially offered it.

Just because your engine has failed completely, and due only to carb ice,
doesn't mean you can't save you bacon with carb heat. Furthermore, a
windmilling engine can be very helpful in supplying the time (and
circulation) required to do so without having to rely on the battery or
starter.

Can I assure everyone that they will ALWAYS be able to clear a frozen carb
with just carb heaT? Hell no. But that has zero to do with the disussion,
WINDMILLING.

So, where do you think the carb heat comes from in a
windmilling engine that has stopped firing because carb ice has
completely iced over the fuel nozzle? Have you ever worked on an
airplane and seen how the carb heat works? Do you think it's electric
or something?
