Default An icing scenario

: You're the second person to have mentioned this, but I can't find any
: information about it on the web. Do you have a reference?

Sorry, nothing in particular at hand, but I've heard *many* times about
laminar wings getting substantially reduced performance from things like a bad wax job
and bugs on the leading edge. Just a bit of ice/frost on such wings could be much
worse by comparison.
