I was thinking of viable ways of de-icing for experimental aircraft that excludes the complex and expensive de-icing boots and the anti-icing liquid that cirrus uses (very complex for experimental), leaving only two forms of heat that would be electric and engine heat, in this case direct electric heating from the leading edges using some type of adhesive with electrical resistance or from the hot air system itself for the cabin, a bleed that passes through the leading edges to be eliminated by the wing tips (considering aluminum wing), I don't know if the heated air by the exhaust would generate enough heat for that, I would like to know if something like that has already been tested?
