Default Building an electronic Angle of Attack indicator

Those might get me airspeed but I'm not at all sure how you would get theta

Use variable capacitance, variable reluctance, resistor strip or
synchro connected to a vane. For a real giggle do as some Air Force
systems and employ a slotted, rotating cone for a probe. It involves a
feedback loop.
