Sounds like a good idea. My only concern is the increased resistance on the oil pump. Velocity told me not to run my pitot head unless I was flying because it could damage the glass.

What do you guy think about using the oil from the engine to heat a Pitot
tube. You would never have to turn it on . The oil is already being
run to the front for the heater in the nose. Simple design where the oil flows around
the pitot tube and you could have a heated pitot tube with no current draw?

What do you think?
