My pleasure. This topic is timely, since I recently built myself a
"Lift Reserve Indicator" based on the LM3914 and a Honeywell sensor.
Now I'm doing a "true" angle of attack indicator based on the Maxim
4210 multiplier (and an op amp) to correct for airspeed ram pressure.
A terrific treatise on the subject (with one inconsequential math error)
can be found he

I used a Honeywell ASDXL05D44D on my initial "lift reserve indicator",
mainly be cause I had a spare kicking around.
The true angle of attack design uses 2 Freescale MPXV7002 sensors.
The sensors really aren't that critical.You're after a repeatable
differential pressure signal, rather than absolute accuracy.
