Hello group,
I am installing a heated pitot and static port on my 360 and asking myself whether the airframe can cope with the heat produced by these things. 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,
