Gary,

The Sport model is the one I installed since = panel space=20 was limited for the retrofit. They are the AOA's previously = designed=20 and owned my Jim Franz.

I do not have the gear warning option, since I have = the gear=20 warning circuit board added to the RMI Encoder. It is a red LED = next to=20 the gear switch. The audible gear warning feature would be a nice = item to=20 have though. Some sort of gear warning feature is a good = backup for a=20 distracted pilot in the pattern.

If you decide on this particular one, I can pass on = to you=20 what I did regarding the mounting of the portion that goes in the = wing (my=20 plane does not have removable wing tips).
