What is the consensus on the choice for heated pitot? I am getting close to paint and want to install before I do. Thanks

From personal experience I would not buy the Gretz  again.  The first one melted and the second one I have now is  cracked.  My panel has the labeling and holes drilled permenantly for the  status lights so hard to change to a different pitot at this point.

Dynon SkyView.  You get a heated pitot and AOA in one – for the same price as just a heated pitot.  If you’re not using SkyView EFIS, then never mind.

 

The mount however is applicable to other pitot options – so perhaps just picking the mount for now solves your “get to paint” issue.  I suggest however painting the wings and mount separate.  Dynon recommends a mount like the Gretz: http://www.aircraftspruce.com/pages/in/pitot_accessories/gretzbrackets.php

Gretz and dynon are probably the most popular.   Both use the same mount, which is all you should need for paint.

Thanks for the input,  I will get the mount for paint. Just curious does the Gretz still work with the crack?

So far it does work with the crack.  I've used  it probably ten times in 300 hours.

The Dynon unit works pretty well. I like the "smart" aspect of the heating unit. Besides its was cheaper.

Me either. I wonder if they changed the plastics formula

or something strange. Sean, are they being good about support?

Will they send you another one?  So far I'm planning to use

one again on the RV-14, unless I hear of lots of issues.  I've

got the gretz mount for it already.

I have the Dynon. Cannot say how well the heat works as I have never had the 10 in icing conditions. As mentioned it has a temperature controller so you can just leave it on all the time if you wish. I have a Dynon D6 as backup efis and, with the Dynon pitot, it provides a visual and audio angle of attack warning.

Hey Tim,

I'm not going to replace unless it stops working.  Stein replaced it last time it melted down. They had a bad batch. My new one is kind of a bad batch
