Default icing

This video was EXTREMELY interesting! Thanks for pointing it out,
Bumper.

Off topic a bit, what is the model aircraft in the background with two
turboprops and two jet engines? It says NASA 600, but I couldn't find
any info using Google. Is it just a model, or is there a real one
flying around?

This video was mentioned on backcountrypilot.org. I figured I understood
tailplane icing, etc. But watching the video was an eye-opener. This also
very much applies to pilots who don't plan on flying in icing conditions. A
failed gap seal on a glider comes to mind as well.

At first I was going to skip this video as it's 23 minutes long. Please
watch it, there's not a boring moment. bumper
