We like that Rotax endorses it and that the formula can't be changed without Rotax approval.

The Stall Warner doesnt go off when the aircraft is stalled in any configuration i.e. power on or power off. Before the flight, while doing a walk-around I tested the 'Stall Warner' by sucking on it and it worked by sounding a very audible noise in the cockpit. Can anyone advise why it isnt sounding in flight when an actual stall takes place? Is there any configuration of the system necessary to set it up correctly? If there is, does anyone know how it should be carried out? Thank you in anticipation James from Ireland ________________________________ Message 7 _____________________________________ Time: 06:17:13 PM PST US From: david park Subject: Re: Europa-List: Stall Warner There will be a sensor in the cockpit somewhere with a tube leading from the hole in the leading edge of the wing. There is wiring from the sensor to the warning horn. The sensor is calibrated while in flight best to extend tube and wiring so you can get your passenger to calibrate it at set speed above stall.

Curious has anyone tried them? How did they work out? Thx. Ron P.

You will need to set up an account that's free. Make sure plumbing has no leaks or restrictions and follow set up procedure. If it were I and couldn't find anything amiss, try a new pressure switch.
