Angle of Attack indicator

[Steve Job]

My partner and I bought one of these http://www.alphasystemsaoa.com/ at Oshkosh this year. We haven't had it installed yet, but was wondering if anyone in this esteemed audience had any experience with AOA indicators. I know they're common in the military and jets.

According to the guy at the booth, this is essentially the same unit Bendix King started selling (they're BK's "Technology Partner").

Hang around enough and you'll learn that there are generally two groups here:

Real pilots:
[...]
Airplane drivers:
[...]

I had the lasagna. I'm a real airplane pilot driver.

An AoA indicator sounds like it would definitely be handy during short field takeoffs and in the event of an engine failure during takeoff climb.
