Hi all,
Starting on my wings, I'm most likely going to buy the Dynon heated pitot tube. Reading back through some old threads from years back, there were mentions that some people still had the tube ice over, even with heat, and even after multiple replacements by Dynon. I was wondering if this is still a problem as of late? For reference, my flight profile for needing pitot heat is very light icing / minimal IMC on midwest Ohio (Cincinnati) winter days where it's mostly clear, maybe freezing fog / mist. Nothing really bad. I know better than to fly in anything worse.
The Dynon tube still looks to be the most cost-effective, and if I happen to use a Skyview, AOA's already there. I'm leaning towards AFS, so I'll just cap the AOA tube in that case. But better to cover as many possibilities as I can.
Thanks for any "refreshers" on whether this is still an issue, if it would even apply to my light freeze conditions or not, etc.
