Pitot question

Post by itisgood »

I am working on the wing of an RV7A and I want to install a heated pitot.
Is there a "best" brand to install easy?
thanks in advance.

I installed one from Dynon with Angle of Atack. They recomend purching a mounting mast from Safe Air whcih I did, I have been very satisfied. You can purchase either the heated or unheated version.

I used a Falcon with a Gretz Mount.

As another data point I used the Dynon heated pitot tube with the Gretz mount. The two worked extremely well together.
