Default Verification that Heated Pitot is working

I want an indicator on my Cozy homebuilt airplane to show me
that my heated pitot is actually working when I turn on the switch on
the instrument panel.


The answer is easy, you just look at the ammeter. If it jumps when you turn
on the switch, the heater works.

The far more important question is: why would anyone fly a cozy into icing
conditions? Disturbing the airflow over a canard with ice is just asking
for controllability problems.
