Nope, never stalled that, the plane won't let me stall the rear wing,
thank goodness!

Mike,
I don't think you are stalling the main wing all the time.

Let me take a shot at Bob's question. First it's got nothing to do

with Plenums so I changed the subject line to AOA.

I am looking at electronic instruments to replace the 30 year old
instruments in my plane, N19WT. One of the glass instruments has the

ability to report angle of attack from a $200 pitot. Since I'm rebuilding,
this has me interested.



My Comment:

Most of the fancy electronic AOA systems do not give you much resolution,

just a relative indication of AOA. It's a ok toy.




Bob wrote:
I can see measuring the wing angle of attack (aka., fuselage angle) makes
some sense. If the plane is aft-loaded, the angle of attack indicator
would let me know early on that there is a problem.





My comment:

No, it won't, other than the $1500 system the others don't have much

resolution.

In our canard airplanes, a stalled main wing is bad news.


My comment:

Really. I guess I should quit stalling mine then. I always thought it

was a non-event.

Fly More, Type Less!
