Hi Doug,
Yes, well, after surveying what was on the market ala the AOA, I decided
that there was just too much competition and suspended (abandoned {
)) work
on the project.
At that time I had just started development of the EI Commander
monitor and controller for the Pmag electronic ignition system that a hangar
mate of mine had and which at the time could only be monitored/controlled by
flying with a Laptop (one for each pmag or switching cables between two
Pmags).
So far have sold over 150 units. But, that may be coming to an
end as competition has finally showed up – with a $300 box which sends all the
display data via bluetooth to an Iphone smartphone. Looks pretty
slick.
So am waiting to see if that product reduces my sales to where it doesn’t
make sense to continue or whether there are sufficient customers out there that
want a dedicated/mounted in panel monitor.
You are going to like your 9A – my partner has a trail dragger version with
a 320 mounted in it and the performance is spectacular – it was even when he had
the 235 mounted.

Ed:
Thanks for the Max update. Glad to see he is still flying
safely and making progress!
I went to your “Anderson homepage” where it
says:
"The
second product we plan to offer is an Angle of Attack indicator early in 2010
which is currently in the workbench testing stage. Other products are in
the planning stage".
I don’t think I’ve gotten an update from you in about three years on
how your AOA gadget is coming along, so could you let the group know where that
stands? :)
I’m planning on finally finishing my 9A in the winter of ’19, and I
want to add an AOA device at that time; so do you think yours will be available
by then?
Take care,
Doug
