Feel the force, Luke.

I pulled my 302 and sent it back for the GPS fix. Decided to go flying before it came back and forgot that I hadn't plugged the tubing as soon as I got airborne. So I not only had no audio, but my airspeed showed between 30 and 60 knots maximum due to the pitot leak.

Had a very pleasant XC flight without a single stall or even incipient. And yes, I was thermaling at high AOA, but so what. Maybe because I'm relatively current with 1500 hours in the ASH-26E, it was a complete non event flying by feel, attitude and sound.

I think it might be nice to have AOA to optimize flap settings in the glide and as an extra stall warning, but not as yet another distraction in the cockpit. :-)
