The problem is that most light airplane pilots
Hello Net
Since I have not seen this touched upon yet, I will add two comments re
stalls and the KR. First comment is that as with any aircraft, the pilot
not waste too much time before he starts finding out and practicing stalls
in his craft. Having a stall warning is good, but having the confid
I searched the archives and didn't find to much on stall warnings and I haven't
noticed too many people installing them. What is the consensus regarding them
for KR projects. I have seen some low priced ones at wicks and A.S.
I want to build light, but safety is a factor also.
Any opinions?

Problem is, where do you put it. How do you know the exact angle that your
wing will stall? If you get it wrong, a bad warning is worse than no warning
at all. I always believe that bad information is worse than no information.
That may be why you don't read anything about it.

What do you all think about stall strips ala Piper and others. Some of the same
issues would still be there, like where to place them on the leading edge
radius for best results, but by studying several different type certificated
planes and their use of stall strips, perhaps that wouldn't be to

RE: A given airplane always stalls at the same angle of attack, not speed or
attitude.
On my first BFR, my instructor set out to disprove that theory. He had me
keep applying power while continuing to increase the angle of attack. By the
time I got to full power, we were almost hanging on the prop
You can stall a plane in a dive. I also am interested in hearing some more on
stall warnings that are Low Cost

RE: Angle of attack is the relative wind (not the path of the airplane
through the air)
Thanks, Larry, now I understand what made that work that way.

The latest issue of Kitplanes (August 2004) has a "Wind Tunnel" article by
Barnaby Wainfan that explains the importance of angles in aircraft design
and flight performance. It talks about stall indirectly, but mentions
directly the reason why a number of the faster O-200 powered KR2s fly nose

Hello
On the Australian Volksplane plans site was a set of plans for a cheap
stall warning as it was presented to the Australian equivalent of the FAA.
My two cents
How many pilots go in because they don't realize how close to a stall
they are. The cross wind turn still gets some
