>Please give the squat switch idea some thought and consideration.  PS I
know that the pressure sensors and water drain will be installed near the
wing tips.   What kind of sending medium will go from the wing tip to the
cockpit, wires or tubes?<

The AOA uses 1/8" OD color coded urethane tubing and there are two tubes
that run from the wing pressure taps to the brain box.  Rick, if you wanted
to be the Beta tester and decided to install the AOA, I will code a special
software version of the AOA (no charge) that will include a software squat
switch that you can use as you wish.  A spare pin on the AOA CPU would pull
high when the wings are loaded and pull low when not.  If the wings are
loaded you obviously are in the air and not on the ground.
