REFLECTOR: heated pitot

[Ruben Creus]

By the way, there is the picture of where it is installed. Just under the
nose. 

 

I think I like symmetry, so I did not like it hanging out on one side. In
the center looks nice and reads great so far!

 

P.D.: This model comes with angle of attack reader, but you can read it only
if you have a dynon unit. Not that you really used too much with a canard,
bit nice thing to show off ;-)

Not sure of the compatibility or if it is an issue, but Dynon has a heated
pitot for $450 IIRC. Much cheaper than most I think.

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
