I was reading about an AOA that seems easier to install and not terribly
expensive. I would like to hear from those of you (if any) who have an
AOA in your plane. How useful? Any Caveats? Thanks, Charlie

| Subject: | LASAR 500 Hour inspection Requirement |
I have 478 hours on my LASAR system at present and it has performed as advertised.
My last contact with Champion indicated is was pretty expensive for them to
tear down inspect and replace as necessary. Any experience out there with inspections/repairs
to the LASAR mags for the 500 hour inspection? I was told the
most critical thing was to get the Impulse coupler (Called the Bush Kit) inspected
as it is on the internal engine side of the housing and if it comes apart,
it can spread metal all through the engine and some of the clearances are
critical on the coupler.
I believe it is a standard Coupler and would like to just get it inspected and
repaired as necessary and leave the rest of the mag alone as long as they are
working fine or just have someone who repairs Mags inspect the hardware and leave
the electronics as is.
Any inputs appreciated. 8)

I have 10 years in the RV-8A and never found a need for AOA ' the
airplane
provides a lot of feedback on high attack angles. I do however have AOA
in
the RV-10. This was a no cost extra from having the Dynon SkyView
system
with the Dynon heated pitot tube. The AOA works fine and the install is
little more than running two =BC=94 poly tubes to the pitot instead of
one. The
AOA calibration is straight forward and accurate. Other than
eliminating
the need to install the Van=92s Stall Warning in the wing (the AOA
provides
auditable tone in the headset when approaching stall) I find I have
little
use for the function ' but since it was free I=92m happy.

Do you have a copy of the F-1100 Slick Master Service Manual and the L-1500 LASAR
Ignition System Master Service Manual?
I am looking for these also as they should answer the questions that you have posed.

I do not have those manuals. All I have is the install manual which has an inspection/overhaul
requirement at 500 hour intervals. I am hoping there is someone
who had the inspection done out there who can shed some information on it.

I have the Skyview 10 inch system using Dynon's heated pitot tube and it
works quite well. I find that the screen indicator doesn't help much but
when I hooked it to my audio panel it became quite useful. It beeps
faster as you approach a stall. Easy to calibrate. I can disable the
beeping below 30 kts since I am nose high in my RV7. Taxiing into the wind
makes it think I am in a stall.
Do not archive

I have advanced flight's AOA in my Glastar. It acts as my stall warning devi
ce. At high density altitudes, loaded with camping gear, I cannot imagine be
ing without one. Smiley Creek at a pattern altitude of 8k on a summer day is
nothing to be guessing at, and the AOA makes the turns to final less stress
ful. Jerry VanGrunsvan swears by his, and admits it has woke even him up a c
ouple times when he got distracted and got too slow. I think it is a no-brai
ner. Get one.
