Martin, I like your interest in an AOA indicator. The prices have come way down, and there are also some experimental projects to make one really cheap. I like you, don’t have an issue with the trim knob, even when I forget which way to turn it. Like Cessna’s just turn a little bit and see if the stick pressure goes with you or the wrong way, easy deal just turn the other way until the pressure is neutralized. I rarely move the setting in my single place, and is set for neutral at about 100 mph and even slowing to 80 requires little stick pressure change. But I do like the AOA thing, as we have no cowl to peer over as a reference when getting the nose higher, and I think that a glide could be fine tuned with such a device. Hmmmmm, I see another project on the horizon. If I can make a homemade high powered LED landing light, why knot an AOA indicator device?
