Bob, Why do you feel the need for a heated pitot/static probe? Do you intend to fly IFR? If you get into weather in your KR that requires a heated pitot/static you will probably have already encountered something to bring you down. By the way, I have a heated pitot/static laying in my garage (for 10 years now) that I got from a Cessna. It is probably a 12 VDC unit and I assume it works. I chose not to use it on my KR and went with light weight 1/4" tubing instead. Check with any aircraft salvage yard (Trade-a-Plane) or mine might be for sale. Seems like when I give people deals on my excess "goodies" I come up short. I made a real good deal to a friend on an art.horz. for his C-172. He installed it and then sold the airplane. Had I known I'm sure the price would have been "adjusted" a bit. Larry Flesner
