I'm working on my wings and searching for a good and not so expensive heated pitot system. Any help would be appreciated, thanks,

Dynon... or whatever works with the AOA installed...

I have had Dynon and very happy with it.

Search E-Bay. The price seems to have gone up $100 since I bought mine. AN5812.

You can frequently get Piper pitot tubes from aircraft salvage places (Air Salvage of Dallas for one) with working or broken heater elements. The last one I bought was about $40, and had never had elements installed. The element replacement kit is a little less than $200. This is a pretty cheap way to end up with a heated pitot tube if you need/want one.

Cessna Heated Pitot

I'm using a Cessna heated pitot from a salvage yard. Tens of thousands made for C-150, C-172 etc. Price is reasonable (but shop around) fits AN pitot mast.

One advantage of the newer stuff like the Dynon: It has an internal temperature sensor so you can turn it on, and, averaged over a flight, it will draw the current it needs based on the outside air temperature.

The older Piper/Cessna products draw full heater current whenever they're on.
