Actually a remark of Hank in another topic (Serviceability of Glass Panels) triggered this one.
I have always been interested in an AoA indicator. Guess that comes from reading Aerodynamics for Naval Aviators and from doing a few hours in gliders. When I bought my (old) Mooney M20C, an AoA indicator was one of the things I really wanted to put in it. Somehow I haven't gotten around to that yet (other needed things took precendence). But flying out of Falcon Field Mesa (FFZ) and into higher terrain airports, it would be a good thing to have.
The only indicator that I have seen for GA so far is the Alpha System.
Does anybody out there have experience with these units. How are they calibrated to the specific aircraft model? Or, are there any other manufacturers?
Grateful for any input.
