I’m at the avionics ordering stage of my -8A construction. I’ve narrowed the EFIS options to AFS-3500 and GRT, but am leaning toward the 3500 because of the AOA option. Guess I’m getting old and too set in my ways, but after 7000 hrs. of Navy flight time, I just need that AOA !! (Same reason I selected the RV-8 – thousands of hours of cramped A-4 time makes me doubt I could really fly if my shoulders weren’t touching the canopy rails.)
But I digress. The real question is: Has anyone actually flown with a 3400/3500 who can offer real airborne comments about howgozit?

Paul,
I convinced myself that I didn’t want my Angle of Attack to be a part of the EFIS and mounted the PS Sport AoA indicator on top of the windscreen. I made a fiberglass hood to house and shade the indicator. After I bought the AoA, Bluemountain offered it (the PS AoA) as an option on the my EFIS/one screen, but I decided not to do it. I think they may have dropped the idea by now.

� 0 Or you could have it both ways as I did and have the GRT efis and the AFS0 AOA.
