I was reading about an AOA that seems easier to install and not terribly expensive. I would like to hear from those of you (if any) who have an AOA in your plane. How useful? Any Caveats? Thanks, Charlie

I have 10 years in the RV-8A and never found a need for AOA – the airplane provides a lot of feedback on high attack angles. I do however have AOA in the RV-10. This was a no cost extra from having the Dynon SkyView system with the Dynon heated pitot tube. The AOA works fine and the install is little more than running two ¼” poly tubes to the pitot instead of one. The AOA calibration is straight forward and accurate. Other than eliminating the need to install the Van’s Stall Warning in the wing (the AOA provides auditable tone in the headset when approaching stall) I find I have little use for the function – but since it was free I’m happy.

I have advanced flight's AOA in my Glastar. It acts as my stall warning device. At high density altitudes, loaded with camping gear, I cannot imagine being without one. Smiley Creek at a pattern altitude of 8k on a summer day is nothing to be guessing at, and the AOA makes the turns to final less stressful. Jerry VanGrunsvan swears by his, and admits it has woke even him up a couple times when he got distracted and got too slow. I think it is a no-brainer. Get one.

I have the Skyview 10 inch system using Dynon's heated pitot tube and it works quite well. I find that the screen indicator doesn't help much but when I hooked it to my audio panel it became quite useful. It beeps faster as you approach a stall. Easy to calibrate. I can disable the beeping below 30 kts since I am nose high in my RV7. Taxiing into the wind makes it think I am in a stall.

Charlie,
I have the http://www.liftreserve.com/ gauge in my plane and am quite pleased with it. It requires no power to operate so in my opinion it makes a great backup to our electric panels... or any other panel.
Not affiliated with LRI, just a happy customer.
Thanks,
Vince Frazier
