Oh, left out my last sentence, pertinent to the topic:
No, you don't need a stall warning horn on a Kolb. The usual stall recognition and recovery skills you learn in any other airplane will serve you just fine. The Kolb has very predictable and "normal" stall characteristics and won't give any surprises....

Being a glider Pilot I was not familiar with stall warning horns as I learned how to recognize a stall directly early on in my training.
As a matter of fact I can't imagine how a pilot could not recognize a stall.
There's plenty of other signs if you are paying attention.
Maybe its different in a Kolb since I have not flown my UltraStar yet.
I guess the point of this thread is that the pilot is filming and will not be paying attention to flying the aircraft as much and needs audio assistance as his eyes are engaged elsewhere.
Perhaps a copilot is an even better idea, although he could surely benefit from VG's.

Some aircraft (mainly faster aircraft) have more abrupt stalls, but should
be no problem in your US. 'Bout the only issue you may have is that the
best climb is practically at stall speed, so there's a narrow margin... but
the US hardly stalls at all, you feel the buffet and it mushes a bit, but
you gotta try hard to get a real "break" with the nose dropping.

Everything can benefit from VG's.
Even this helicopter flies better with them.
Take a look.

You keep coming up with this stuff. I have to assume that the frame speed is
perfectly matched with the rotor speed. The tip off is the sounds and the
flexing of the rotors.
As for the VGs......
