I intend on purchasing the Gretz 1000 heated pitot, the Duckworks HID landing lights, and the AFS AOA. After reviewing the archives several of you had said that you were putting the light and the AOA on the last bay. Any feedback on how that worked out as far as space and ease of maintenace for the future? I was also looking at simply closing the stall horn holes and not installing it, as others have done. Does any body flying think that is something I should still install? Finally any other tips or gotchas out there. I have been all over Tim's and Deems's sites...pretty much live on those, and Mike Howe's also. Thanks for your feedback.

The mechanism, when it =93locks=94 swings the lever in the way of the geared arm that connects to the pin that locks the door. It is not very strong, but if someone wants to get it that bad, it is better that they break the lock than the door or something like that. For the right side, to prevent needing to go around and unlock, we drill a hole in the same rod just forward of the handle mechanism on the arm that pulls the from pin and stick a quick-release pin in the hole so the mechanism cannot move. That seems to work quite well. Do not archive. Jesse Saint I-TEC, Inc.

I returned it and bought the Gretz. Falcon now has a new mount for the 10 and you may want to consider it. The Gretz has a really cool temp control function that will save power but I have not heard of any reliability data on it. Would love to hear from those flying is the Gretz is working OK in IMC.

I am considering either the Gretz Aero GA-1000 or the Falcon (12-AN5812) Pitot tubes or equivalent and would appreciate any feedback please. Has anyone installed and flown their aircraft with an angle of attack probe, if so which one and your thoughts regarding the device please.

I simply mounted the lock separately in the bottom of the door with the lock's arm swinging down into a cut out in the door frame rail, very similar to the baggage door lock assy. Seems to work great so far. grumpy #40404 33 hrs towards the 40 hr flyoff!! ________________________________ Message 7 _____________________________________ Time: 11:32:02 AM PST US From: Tim Olson Subject: Re: RV10-List: Heated Pitot Tube Selection & Angle of Attack Probe I don't know what criteria would be ultra valuable regarding the pitot tube, but the indicated airspeed is good and close, there's no worry about rust with the Gretz, and I've been in soggy IMC at 0 degrees C, and not had it ice up. The thing is, until someone actually has a problem with it, I wouldn't expect anything but ordinary "it works fine" reports. Before completion I had worried that perhaps some day I may regret my choice. At 177 hours, I don't have any regrets, for what it's worth.

I drilled a stop, but wonder if I need to do something more. Any advice on this one? Picture is attached. Thanks once again.

Why did you decide to change the adhesive you used on the front windscreen? Did the Hysol seem to bond well? Now that you have used both which do you prefer, ie, application, cleanup, etc?
