AeroVee 2.1, Aeroinjector, modified to get a direct shot of outside air on the filter. In 360 hours to me - never experienced anything resembling carb ice - including 20 hours X-Country last month - at least 18 of which were flown in 80% plus humidity.
I'm NOT saying it can't/won't happen. And when I first added the outside air I was extremely careful/cautious about the possibility. But it just has not happened.

Thus be interested to hear of proven instances and the equipment setup and environment where it has happened.
