Both are drawing about 4A at 24 V each (after initial heating time) - and do not even think about touching them after 5 minutes of heating. So my questions are: 1. Any experience out there with such heat (ca. 100W each) on the (glass) frame? 2. Any recommendations for mounting? 3. In case the heat is to much, I am thinking about putting them in serial, reducing the heat by ca. half - is the glass capable with this at least? - I will fly "only" VFR and install the probes for "in case". Thanks in advance for your feedback, Peter, lnc 360, 85%
