The Puerto Rico Flyers
“Once you have tasted flight, you will forever walk the earth with your eyes turned skyward,
for there you have been, and there you will always long to return.”
- Leonardo da Vinci
During certain times while flying, Carburetor Heat is used to help prevent icing and a possible engine failure. But during high workload situations I sometimes forget to turn it off which prevents the engine from generating full power. I decided to design something to remind me that the Carburetor Heat was on . So in keeping with the KIS principle it had to be simple, reliable, cheap to build and easy to install. This is what I came up with.
