avidjoyce@doctors.org.uk>=0A=0AIan, I wonder whether a SmartASS would possi
bly be considered as an acceptable stall warner. It is in my experience a c
onsiderably more effective tool than the Europa stall warner, (having flown
with both now for a couple of years), and much easier to fit. It has in ad
dition a wheels up warning which sounds if you slow to approach speed witho
ut putting gear down. It is currently out of production (at Smart Avionics)
but Mark Burton is hoping to launch a new improved version in the next few
months.=0ARegards, David Joyce, G-XSDJ=0A=0A=0AOn Thu, 6 Feb 2014 21:59:02
