It seems to work in a similar fashion to the Dynon AOA. It uses a metal divider to choose which of two input ports gets the larger amount of air pressure - depending on the attitude of the airplane. Rather than having one direct pitot tube and one at a 45 degree angle it has one input pointed up and another pointed down. I mentioned all that to allow me to point out that the idea works just fine but the actual implementation needs to be adjusted and calibrated to be useful in flight. I have an analog gauge that shows the differential pressure. Dynon just shows a few points of data which (presumably) show similar information. You might need to tweak the angle of the second pressure input tube to get a reading on the Dynon that is useful.

Zenith sent the side covers 6C3-6/1 which are larger than the original version and also curved which the drawings don=99t address. If anyone has some close up pictures of their installation please send them to me.
