Note: The Basic system is for aircraft without flaps only.

The RiteAngle™ Basic uses electronics not available during earlier designs of RiteAngle™ systems. Although operationally similar to prior RiteAngle products, the RiteAngle Basic is a totally new, more efficient, economical design.

It is a modern up to date system, that accurately determines your aircraft’s angle of attack. This series uses our proven, easy-to-understand, five LED display. Green indicates Safe, Amber indicates Caution, and Red indicates Danger. The “On Speed” AOA, 1.3 Vso will be correct, regardless of bank angle, density altitude, or any of the other variables where the airspeed might be inaccurate. We introduced the LED AOA display in 1995 and it has been so successful that all of our competitors now have an LED display available.

Vane (Refer to Image)
Next time you are getting on an airliner, look in the general area below the Captains and First Officers windows, near the middle of the fuselage. Notice a vane? During my 19 years flying for a major airline, and in business jets before that, I was provided an Angle of Attack System, that made use of a vane. If it is reliable enough for airlines, that are responsible for passenger safety, it is reliable enough for our homebuilt aircraft. The same polymer vane is used with the RiteAngle™ Basic as is used on our custom designed systems which cost $3500. We have wing, fuselage and jury strut mounts. These mounts will satisfy all types of aircraft, from the simple ultralight to Jets, and have been in use for over 11 years.

Note: Small vane (compared to standard vane) is more streamlined and smaller as requested by owners of aircraft cruising over 200 kts, however it requires the ball bearing sensor due to the reduced airfoil area (except with the Elite System). See Accessories.
