The recent posting of accident reports has stirred my interest in an angleof attack indicator. It seems that I have seen one in a magazine in recentyears. It was relatively simple and attached on the jury strut. Do any oryou know where plans can be found. It might be of interest to many of us. Thanks,Jon BotsfordIn the sun for the first time in many days________________________________________________________________________________

Does anyone know of an inexpensive or buildable audible stall warning device??? The bacon saver is fine but I don't really think I will be looking out at the strut when a stall situation sneaks up on me. One day several years ago on a quiet, easy flying day I was lulled into distraction by my passenger's questions on base leg in a 152 when the stall horn went off.....Well it got my attention real quick and might have saved my/ our butts.....Since then I have learned to NEVER let my airspeed get away from me but I still have always wanted to install one on my Piet...I would...at least in my busy home area need to have headsets on anyway. I've seen some in cataloges but they are outragously overpriced.

a simple piezo buzzer wired to a micro switch that is activated by the bacon saverarm might work.DJ----- Original Message -----

Good point DJ .... Make the microswitch adustable and play with it until you get it where you want it. I was thinking more along the lines of the vane type inside the leading edge like Cessna uses but that would be hard to make adustable.>From: "DJ Vegh" >Reply-To: pietenpol-list(at)matronics.com>To: >Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Angle of Attack indicator>Date: Mon, 10 Nov 2003 10:51:50 -0700>>>a simple piezo buzzer wired to a micro switch that is activated by the >bacon saver arm might work.>>DJ>>>----- Original Message ----->From: Ed Grentzer>To: pietenpol-list(at)matronics.com>Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Angle of Attack indicator>>>>>> Does anyone know of an inexpensive or buildable audible stall warning>device???
