(Don Hall) ________________________________ Message 1 _____________________________________ Time: 07:32:30 PM PST US From: "Don Hall" Subject: RV7-List: Pitot tube? --> RV7-List message posted by: "Don Hall" While we're on the subject, I just installed my Gretz Aero Pitot Tube. It's pretty cool. It comes with a sensor that only draws power when pitot heat is really needed. It has led indicators to let you know when the pitot is cold or ok, and when it's actually heating. Here's some pics: http://donka.net/gallery/view_photo.php?set_albumName=rv7leftwing&id=DSC0542 0 I suppose this pitot tube is on the pricey side, but what the heck. I will fly IFR and this will make me feel better. Around here, I know of other RV builders that get old Cessna pitots on the cheap, and those melt ice just as good. ****************************************** Don Hall N517DG (registered) rv7 wings, fuse on the way! http:\\donka.net\rv7project.html ****************************************** -----Original Message----- From: owner-rv7-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-rv7-list-server@matronics.com] On Behalf Of Alf Olav Frog Sent: Tuesday, January 31, 2006 8:34 PM Subject: RV7-List: Pitot tube? > Hi fellow RV-7 Builders! > > I live in Norway and am almost finished with the empennage of my RV-7A. > I'm just about ready to start with my QB-wings and considering different types of pitot tubes. > Since it's cold up here, I've to have a heated one. > > Is it a type or brand which most Rv-builders use the most? > > Best regards Alf Olav Frog > >
