Angle of attack indicator
« on: November 03, 2020, 08:28:55 AM »
Quite a few years ago the EAA, and other sources, published plans for an aoa indicator.  It was made of aluminum as I remember it.  It was mounted on the wing struts and a glance at it would let you were flying near stall.  I have looked around the web for it and have found references to it but no plans.
Does anyone remember it or know where I might find the plans?

Here is a YouTube video about making one from wire and yarn. Also two photos of Bacon Saver. You can probably make one from the photos.
