--> RV8-List message posted by: "Jeff Preou" <jeff@preou.com>
Hi Guys,
Anyone here have any recommendations on a heated pitot for an RV-8A?
I'm expecting the wing kit to arrive maybe towards the end of January
and I'm just thinking about 'other things' that I might want to organize
while I'm building the wings. I already have an AoA Pro wing
installation kit on the shelf and ready. If you have any other ideas or
advice, I'm all ears!
Cheers,

Consider Gretz Aero. His unit is a black molded material, has a circuit
board that controls the temp of the unit so that it isn't always on, has 3
LEDs that tell temp status in the cockpit (if desired), and it fits his
bracket. The unit is around $400 complete(hardware and wire to C/B). Mine
is not yet up and running but I don't forsee any problems with it.

Jeff,
There's a question you'll get equal opinions on either side. I've been round
and round on it. Some say you have no business going into instrument
conditions wothout one but then others say you have no business going in without
de-ice
boots and two engines. If you don't plan IFR and you have an AOA it seems
like it may not be necessary being that they cost about a grand (why I don't
know) new and not much less used. I'm putting an old 28 volt one on mine even
though it has a 12 volt system. I tried it with 12 volts and it still gets pretty
warm. They seem to go for cheaper prices on the used market. Like everything
else I've got dogmatic answers on either side of that question so I guess
you'll have to think about what you plan to do with your plane but it's never
wrong to opt for less weight, money and complexity.

Jeff,
You may want to consider the new heated pitot tube from Gretz. Aircraft
spruces sells them. They are made from a none metallic material. They turn
themselves on and heat up when the temp drops to the point where they are
needed. They are the latest technology and cheaper than most of the others
that you will see.
I have ordered one for my 8A. Good luck with your project.

Jeff,
It depends mostly on your regional weather, and your intended use of
the airplane. I assume you have a lot of exposure to the marine
layer, and if you plan on doing some IFR flying I would highly
recommend it.

Hi Connie;
Sorry but I erased it . Try to click on the attachment under subject more than
once. when it comes up in the separate window click on it again. When my cousin
sends me things I have to open messages more than once to find the message
sometimes.
Not much new here. I am still working but I don't mind it all being I am building
the airplane. Tell Dave I now have a new appreciation for metal work , now
I know why I was an electrician rather than a tin knocker.
What are you guys going to do for the Hollidays? Are you coming to this area?
If so let us know so we can hook up. We don't have anything but camping with
the group until March when we go to the race in Vegas and even then we will only
go for a week. We had planned to go to New Orelens after the race but after
the flood we decided to save vacation time and go on a long trip the next year.
I really want to concentrate on building my airplane anyway so I don't mind.
Besides if we get too bugged we both have jobs where we can take off in a hart
beat if we want to.
Well I had best get back to the "Domestic Hanger " (airplanes aren't built in
garages.) Hope you are bout happy and well. We love Ya;
Tom
PS; I attached a picture of the plane One of what it looks like now and one of
what it will look like completed (I hope)
