Bill, I think you have presented a case for the benefit of an
effective stall warning system but not necessarily a good case for an
AOA indicator. Unless the AOA sensor is linked to an effective
warning system it is more likely to be an added distraction rather
than a benefit.

Now if someone took that sensor and used it to drive an audio
thermalling speed director I could get interested.
