I am interested in retrofitting an AOA system onto my RV-12. AOA systems that I am familiar with all have an external pitot-like probe. But the RV-12 KIA shows fabricating an AOA port simply by installing the same type of port as the static port (appropriate pull rivet with 1/4" tubing glued on) at a specific location under the wing near the stall warning vane.
Does anyone have any experience with this kind of AOA port? What kind of AOA system(s) does it feed? Has it worked well for you?
I have a conventional pitot on my -12 rather than the thing that sticks out of the spinner so a pitot-like AOA probe probably makes more sense for me but the wing rivet thing intrigues me.
