Actually, I have flown with the factory supplied AoA meter (differential
pressure) in my DG-600, but I could never get the darn thing calibrated
properly...


Bummer. I'm still hoping we'll hear from some pilots with the newest DG
80x gliders, which has it as standard equipment (I think that's right...).
