Hi Bruce

I know you said that with tongue in cheek, but it is interesting point. 

If I remember correctly an alternate static valve or heated ports are 

not required (Canada) if it can be demonstrated that the static ports 

are not susceptible to icing. I opted for alternate static valve on my 

RV's however I think that with dual static ports on the aft end of a 

tapering fuselage they would be immune to icing unless the aircraft was 

flown in a side slip. Anyone ever heard of side static ports icing over/up?

   Don't know if anyone has actually seen them ice up but

   static ports on our new Horizon are heated.
