Hello group,



for those who are flying did you build the standard stall warning into the wing or an AOA or both?



Thanks

I built in both AOA and the standard stall warning. The stall warning  works very well once the tab is adjusted correctly. Even more importantly  my RV-10 really lets me know when it is going to stall.  After  training with Mike Seager and practice during flight testing I would have to be  extremely distracted to miss the buffet and feel of the airplane before it  stalls (actual mileage may vary).

  

 Maybe I failed to calibrate the AOA system correctly the first, second or  third times, but I can't get it to provide useful information. Additionally, the  "AOA PUSH!" voice is extremely distracting during slow flight, take off and  flare to land. (The calibration was bad on my first flight and I had  to listen to that voice continuously during my first flight - as if I didn't  have enough to deal with). I loved AOA in the T-38 and F-15. In theory, it is a  very nice back up system to have on board. I haven't given up yet, but I am  struggling to get it to provide useful information in the RV-10.

Just to follow up on my previous post. Overall, my recommendation is:

  

 If you are on the fence about getting AOA, get it. But, keep Van's stall  warning system as well.
