I have acquired an F-16 pitot tube that I hope to use on my RV8A. I have two issues with it.
1. It has stamped on the side "aerodynamically compensated". I don't know what that means. I hope that it does not mean that it is not suitable for use on my RV.
2. The heating element is wired for 115 volts, at 400 hertz. I am trying to figure out how to adapt it to work with my 12 volt system.
Any insight or ideas would be appreciated. Perhaps some of you electronic whizzes out there could help me solve this problem.
Thanks,
