But, if the AoA of the inside wing is lower than the AoA of the outside wing why would the inside wing stall first and drop so the glider spins in the direction of the inside wing? I have no idea.


And where do you mount your AOA sensor so that it works equally well for both left and right turns/skid/slip?


A tuft on the left, another on the right and joint the ends with a piece of wool for real time mechanical averager, bonus points for being in the natural line of sight.

You do have two clearview panels in your glider of course?
