Hi Bruce:
----------
Can't target stall? That's what an AOA does. A wing always stalls at the
same AOA. While the IAS will vary some according to weight, the AOA will
always be the same.
----------
Thanks for saying that for me! This product reminds me of a Huntington
(sp?) "Lift Reserve" indicator from years ago that the inventor
insisted wasn't an AOA but did the same thing - sorta.
I want to know the wing's angle of attack. Period. Heavy or light,
pulling G's or level, the wing stalls at the same AOA no matter what
the airspeed says. Elbie's Rite Angle might be old technology, but, if
you could get it in clean air, it told you what your AOA was. At stall.
