I was wondering when equipping a Lightning for IFR, which brand/model heated pitot tube is typically installed?

Are there any issues with the wing already being closed?

Jim,
I am putting a Gretz Aero tube on my Lightning; it draws less amperage than the standard heated tube. The 20-amp alternator is a real limiting factor for installing much equipment; the Gretz is available directly from www.gretzaero.com or from Aircraft Spruce.

Linda,
Do you have your baggage compartment finished out? I forgot my camera
this morning, but tomorrow would like to get some shots of your plane, and
others around. Somebody asked for shots of the baggage area and I don't
think anybody else has theirs finished out. Brian W.

Hi John,
Do you have a couple of pics like I posted earlier. One of the entire
interior, stick grips, interior, panel, everything? Also one of the outside
of the plane. I had some and lost them due to a computer issue. Thanks,
Brian W.

Ours isn't finished out yet; B&B will be over Thursday and Friday finishing the interior of Joe Cooper's so his might be a good one to photograph next week.
