I have a problem with my AOA reading on my D10A. The display seems to be very slow in sensing AOA changes. It indicates normal cruise AOA all the way through my stall, then, flashes the red triangle many seconds after I have recovered from a stall. I have checked my non-heated Dynon probe for any blockages and haven't found any. Airspeed works as it should (verified with my steam gage).

It should be very reactive, like airspeed. Assuming that airspeed is normally responsive, the next thing I'd be looking at is whether there is something impeding the airflow somewhere along the AOA line. It may not be in the pitot tube itself. Popping off the connection at the EFIS and testing for free flow would be a quick way of seeing if there's something going on there.
