Passed Instrument Checkride!
I think so, he sort of does the oral exam in a conversational way, and
I think I threw that out there while we were talking about it. One of us might've mentioned the changing of the airfoil's shape, but it's getting sketchy now...

Weight is an issue, but the bigger one is the change in shape of the airfoil, leading to loss of lift and/or tail effectiveness. Ice also tends to stay with you even after you exit icing conditions (unless it gets warm enough for long enough). Jose
