Greetings all,
Having recently watched with interest the traffic on AOA I thought I would
mention another choice, the DIY choice which I selected.
A prominent commercial AOA device uses a probe made of a small block of
metal providing a known leading edge geometry which can me positioned in
angle to match the wing to which it is attached. Plans for a "quite"
similar device can be found at:

It cost me $5 for the aluminum. I plan on an additional expense of about
$50 for the dywer pressure gauge.
I also have some details on the labeling and design of my panels.
Look at:
