Default grumman aa-5 stall warning delay

no, it moves freely and has just been rebuilt by our AMO.

Brand new case for someone to investigate


The stall warning on Grummans is a spring loaded vane screwed to a switch.

When the airflow where the vane is mounted starts flowing up, the
switch closes and the alarm sounds.

It is impossible for there to be a delay between the switch closing
and the alarm sounding.

That leaves either the vane being bent, positioned incorrectly or a
too stiff of a spring, thus requiring being deeper into the stall before
the switch closes.

I would question how the switch could be "rebuilt" locally as the switch
is proprietary and not generally available as a part.
