Ron's unfortunate accident has got people thinking more about how to avoid a
similar situation.  Following my input on AOA indicators, I had a few
off-List emails indicating interest in the Rite Angle system.  I really
believe that most Lancair pilots would benefit from fitting any AOA
indicator system, and I suspect that some, like me, have been putting it off
because of cost.

 I therefore contacted Elbie Mendenhall who owns Rite Angle to see if he
would offer a discount, and he has agreed to do so if we have enough
participants.  If we come up with a minimum of 10 orders, he will give us a
10% discount on both the primary AOA system, and any of the options (e.g.
the flap linkage).  If the order is less than 10, but more than 5, the
discount is 5%.  The result could be a basic system for $500, which while
not small change, is not bad for our expensive hobby.

If you are interested, please first check his web site for details
(http://www.riteangle.com/), then contact me off List by email
(jerryfisher@charter.net), so that we do not clog up the List with orders.
Let me know exactly which options you want.  Once I have counted up the
number of people interested, I will take that as a commitment from you if
the total is more than 10.  If it between 5 and 10, I will come back to you
to see if you still want to proceed with a 5% discount.  I will collect the
cash and submit a block order to Elbie.  He will send the units to your
address direct.

So let me know if you want to take advantage of the Rite Angle offer and fly
carrier approaches.  And no, I have no connection with him or his company!
If you have any questions, contact me by email.

By the way, I found out that the "Wolfe Lancair" 360 on his web site is
owned by Howard Wolfe of Washington or Oregon (somewhere up there), not Rob
Wolf as I had assumed.  He has apparently flown off his hours and the AOA
system is working and is now being calibrated.  I don't think he is on the
List though.  The system is also going through FAA certification for the
Cherokee.
