Absolutely but you can get the plane approved with stall strips. David

to get the the pressure switch to work correctly in the only UK flying
Europa Motor Glider. This has been going on for ages stopping the motor Glider
getting a Permit to Fly. I have a SmartAss fitted and it is not acceptable to
the LAA as a stall warning system. None of the other motor gliders or gliders
I fly have stall warning systems fitted we fly near the stall most of the time
while using thermals and something bleating in your ear all the time is the
last thing you want. However trying to get the LAA to except this point seems
impossible, especially galling as the stall is such a non event in the Europa
Motor Glider.

neither of which can be said for stall warner even when working - which
sounds as a very distant minor squeak using modern headsets!

fitted in G-YETI (RS Components part No 317-443) but I'm struggling to get
it to work correctly - despite changing the switch for a new one today.

please? The pipe between switch and the hole just below the wing leading edge
is correctly connected to the NO port A btw.
