Posted for "Bruce Gray" <Bruce@glasair.org>:

  Only one company makes them, and the FAA PMA approval process makes it
  darn near impossible for anyone else to make them also. So the company
  that has the sole marketplace is raising prices to whatever the traffic
  will bear. There are several experimental manufacturers coming out with
  non certified versions in the $100-$200 price range. Blue Mountain
  Avionics is one, IIRC.

" Does anyone know why the price of the heated pitot tube has gone from
  $299.95 to $1040.00 ? Not just @ Lancair, but everywhere. Just Curious."
