I placed my AOA Sport LED indicator on top of the glareshield. It is in my field of view while I'm on final. This is a similar setup to the T-38, which I found worked very well.

I would like comments from current users of any AOA system.
The Dynon has a indicator on the screen.
The AOA Pro has a large LCD indicator on the panel.
The AOA Sport has a LED indicator on the panel.
The LRI has a needle indicator on the Gauge.
I have used the LRI and find the needle difficult to see in the last 20' before touchdown ( altitude, drift, gusts and center line come first). It works as advertised in flight, but I, for one, am focused outside during landing and never on the LRI. My old Stall vane with the red light works with peripheral vision.
Do the other Brands work with your peripheral vision and allow an awarness of the indicated AOA during flare? Where did you locate the indicator?
Thanks for any input.
