Stall Horn

[Mike Switzer]

Chad, what kind of compass is that?

[Chad Jensen]

An electric Ritchie boat compass. Found it on eBay, worked great! I mounted the magnetometer for it in the tail, and it was dead-on accurate.

I was just wondering, do people ever put stall horns in a homebuilt aircraft?

If so is there a unit available for experimental aircraft or do you steal one from a certified design?

Mike, you bet. RV-10s come with the vane type system as a standard part of the kit, although some RV-10 builders ditch it for an aftermarket AOA system. I chose to go with the standard stall warning system because A. I already had it, and B. I was too cheap to switch to AOA. You can order the parts from Van's if you're so inclined.

Not true...none of the two seat RV's come with a stall warning system of any kind.
