I made my own heated pitot with aluminum tubing and a 12V Cessna pitot
heater element. You can see the details at http://www.abri.com/sq2000/18.html
(about 5 frames from the bottom). The total cost was about $40 - and it's
"new".

Will running a 28 volt pitot tube heat on 12 volts heat it enough to use?
I
keep seeing 28 volt pitot tubes on e-bay and was wondering if they would do
the
job.

Hi all,

Can the standard heated pitot tube element be changed?
I have looked at mine and can't figure how to get it apart.
I believe its the standard 5812-12v type.

Thanks

Dave
