Default Stand alone AOA

I searched the archives but wasn't able to see anything identifying the best AOA available with today's technology. I remember reading about one a fellow made for himself that has audible changes with speed. Can anyone recommend a stand alone, center of the panel device?

Advanced Flight Systems' stand-alone AoA provides what you're looking for:

http://www.advanced-flight-systems.c...s/AOA/aoa.html

"The system includes a machined aluminum AOA display, AOA CPU module, push buttons, flap switch, wiring harness, AOA Probe, 25 ft of tubing and a detailed instruction manual. An optional glare shield mounting bracket and heated probe are available."

includes a voice warning system that warns you when approaching high angles of attack and their system can be calibrated for both flaps-up and flaps-down configurations. Good stuff.
