It would sure be nice to see an article regarding AOA indicators that wasn't
a veiled advertisement for the writer's company's product. I have heard
excellent things about the Lift Reserve Indicator, but all recent articles
on AOA indicators have been authored by the Proprietary Software folks, as
was this one.

PS. I, too, would like some sort of catalog of Graham's goodies.

I await with bated breath. Always wanted a decent AoA device so I hope
there is one here. My Sport Aviation ain't arrived yet.
