me how you overcame the problem of heating a pitot tube, and where you mounted
it? Also, I believe they are greedy for power, hugely, so does all your fancy
navigation devices go dim when you tip turn it on, so you can keep it upright,
but you can't any longer go anywhere anymore, with any certainty? It's all
a bit problematic. Fly a Groundspeed until visual, yes, that could work, but
not for sustained IMC flying.
