To clarify, I thought that Jack was referring to a pitot-static, which is not an AoA device - as you gents rightly say, an ADD is.

I think I agree with John about a vane being preferable - although with something based upon a yawmeter and using some compact electronics you could certainly produce something small and light - if not necessarily cheaply or quickly.
