I just found a 1"x1/8" crack along the bottom seam of my GA-1000
heated pitot. I have 150hr on the plane and 10-15hr using the heat on
the pitot. Talked to Warren Gretz and the best he could come up with
was to patch it with J&B Weld. Emailed the new producers of the
GA-1000 but no response. It still heats up, but I'm going to replace
it. Just wanted to give everyone a heads up. Blue Skys

Given the fact that it's just a thermoplastic with basically an embedded element and thermistor, you should be able to fix it just fine with some JB Weld or similar. IMHO

I had to have my pitot replaced via warranty. It had a short between one of
the thermistor leads and ground. Andrew takes awhile to respond. I got the
impression that he only reads his email on a periodic basis. I found I got
a quicker response by giving him a call. Just remember that he's 14 hours
ahead. He's good to deal with, just not responsive via email.
