Besides, what are you going to do with carb temp. The 50 does not have
carb
heat. At least mine does not.
Roger, YAK 18 (all types) 50, 52 have carb heat as standard. In service
they will crack if not supported so the Ruskies removed them when they
broke. Simple fix solution but....as pointed out carb ice does affect the
engine at 0-+5'c usually at idle when ground warming the engine or on
approach to land. When landing the first sign is that when you need power
the throttle cant be advanced. Then you crash on the under shoot in bad
cases as happened to a 55 in the UK. When on the ground the engine stops and
you wonder why as it started again as soon as the you got out and walked
around !!
We always fit and ensure that carb heat works on all YAK's over here.

Thanks for the info Mark,
Remember our worst winter flying day in Lower Alabama is 35- 40 deg F. Me
personally, I am not flying in colder (we do get there occasionally). But
having carb heat is not a bad idea. We can hash the effects of a venturi on
the cooling of air and carb icing at 80 deg F. also, but most of our A/C
coming from Lithuania arrive without the Ram Horns.
