Today, the Proprietary Systems AOA Pro Indicator arrived that I ordered at Oshkosh. I was impressed, it comes with EVERYTHING! Even a video. Looks pretty cool. So, I browsed the manual this evening, and will be heading to the hangar tomorrow to install it! Well, at least in the display and CPU. All the plumbing to the wings will come when I do the wings. Pitot and Static will come as I do those systems… Static line is waiting for me to rivet the rear skin on, otherwise the line will get in the way of the bucking bar.

Here are some gratuitous shots… The large black part by the CPU is the Pro display. Most of it is hidden behind the panel, so it isn’t really as big as it looks! There is also a good manual, and a video included.

A bag of various hardware and decals.

The ports…. Basically, one is a drainable water trap, the other an way of connecting the hole in the wing to a tube. Fairly simple stuff. All the clever stuff is done by the CPU “Brain Box” as they call it.
