I made the AOA system with Freds help from France! works great.. I hated to sell the plane but he docs said Id be blind in 6 months.. Turns out they were wrong... 

After a couple of eye operations and a few weeks recovery, I could see pretty good again... still need reading glasses.

 

Note: The overlay data is from dashware.. cant remember how I even did  it but it gets its info from the GPS in my go pro which was clipped onto my baseball cap.

The winds were light that day...

The Kitfox 4 has many improvments over the model 1, 2 and 3... specifically the wing, the flap system and the larger stablizer and rudder and elevators.

Kevin Palmer, Trents brother bought the plane and took it to Reno, but it is now back in Spokane someplace..

The Garmin Area 660 has one wire that provide heading info the Garmin G-5 when the G=5 is in HSI mode. I point to that HSI , the heading bug show the heading to fly to get back to the waypoint, in this case, the airport..
