New Gretz pitot pirep?

[jcoloccia]

Wondering if anyone's actually flying with the composite Gretz heated pitot tube. If so, what are your impressions?

I haven't flown with it yet. I did install it and power it up. Works as advertised. It heats up and then turns off. The LED indicator on the panel is very cool.

Drawbacks: had to elongate the holes in my Gretz mount for the pitot to fit, running an extra 3 conductor out the wing (optional for LED indicator), and Gretz's non-warranty (it's only good until you hook up the pitot to your plane).

I can give a flying report in a few months.
