I had a total engine failure (well not quite total but enough I couldn'tmaintain altitude) in a C-150. This was flight with a pre-solo student.Engine RPMs dropped. Carb heat applied RPMs came back. Carb heat removedand after about a min RPMs went back down. I then added Carb heat andfiguring that I was ok continued the training flight which turned out to bea big mistake because we were doing ground ref maneuvers. After a shorttime the RPMs started dropping again. Found a nice little wet RC field(Didn't know it was until the next day) and nose the plane over.Question what do you do for carb ice if the heat is already on.Kenav8or(at)infionline.netkring(at)mountainviewdogs.comkring(at)irisweb.netwww.irisweb.netwww.mountainviewdogs.com-----Original Message-----
