I'm retrofitting our Pitot to the dynon heated type in our RV6A
Looking for suggestions for a mounting location of the heater box in the inspection panel area. I was even thinking of doubling the inspection panel and installing it on there.
Any experience on that would be great.

I made a plate that I could pop rivet onto the rib outboard of the pitot. Before I installed the plate, I put nutplates to match the heater control box. That way I could install the box and take it off easily. This put the box close to the Pitot for the wiring connections. Here is a picuture.

Best Regards,
Mel Jordan
