That's nice and compact.  How would you go about displaying the information?

There are several RC airspeed items available. I bought the sensor and miniature pitot tube for the one I will make if I don't like the Hall Airspeed Indicator.

Hey I like that... could we make that into the "cross" brace on the jury strut??? I wasn't planning to use the cross brace part... but maybe on the that far side I could...  I have the stuff to make the vacuum kind, but this electronic kind is doable... OK - now my brain is rolling... Can we make an electronic airspeed indicator there too? Using something like this in the same pod....

Mine will cost about $50, not including a smartphone. I made an aerodynamic shape of balsa to hold the AS5600 sensor. The vane is also balsa. I'm mounting it on a short carbon fiber tube which will carry the signal into a small plastic project box mounted under the wing. The Arduino & battery will go in the box. I haven't completed the electronics, just the sensor and vane. Don't know when I'll try and complete it. Still working on plane.

Sadly an aoa, one of the,best,safety devices is,also very very expensive. Dont know about light weight

... go to YouTube and Search for "Jeremy Dunn Double Eagle" videos...

Sadly, he appears to have pulled his build videos.

That looks like a fun project.  Let us know how well it works.
