Lou,
I have a surplus shark fin pitot static on the nose of my plane. The static port doesn't work because the pressure wave from the nose messes up the static reading but the pitot works fine and it's heated. I think you would need about a 3 foot boom to get the static port to work but I expect you already have a separate static port. If you look in the AS catalog you wont be happy at the prices. Try this link.

My standard Velo is an older model and is equipped with a VOR, ILS, and a GPS for IFR. Unfortunately it does not have a heated pitot, which I understand is required to have it IFR certified. I am planning on installing a heated pitot this winter and was wondering what others have used. Any tips or suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks
