My fuel vent heaters spliced into the air speed indicator wires. Load shedding seems to be limited to pulling the circuit breaker or turning off the switch, except the stall warning horn, and it is hot wired. Moe N680RR Proud Holder of The Golden Pedal Award From: Dan Farmer Sent: Tuesday, November 18, 2008 7:05 AM Subject: Commander-List: fuel vent heat check This is so easy. Turn on the master switch, turn on the pitot/fuel vent heat switch now take about 2 minutes then put your lips on the vents like you were to suck a straw. Be sure to do this before you suck on the pitot tube. Otherwise your lips will be burned so bad you will never be able to feel the slight warmth from the vent. If you really do this you deserve what you get. In all seriousness, my vents are always quite warm to the touch in about 30 seconds after turning on the heat switch. I seriously doubt that airframes of this vintage and size have load shedding. In the 1960's I don't think Boeing or Douglas was using auto load shedding. I think it was called a flight engineer.
