Gas Prices Coming Down

I guess if I had to whine about anything it would fall into three areas:
no stall horn. I like stall horns. The pitch becomes more insistent the
closer to the stall you get... it really gives you another way to rachet
up the drama waiting for the stall to break. Anyway, this airplane had a
stall light. That would have been OK but it was mounted on the far left
hand side of the panel. If you want to catch my eye, you need to be FRONT
and CENTER.

Great write up!

Personally, I've never understood the need for stall horns. I've never
needed one to know when a stall was imminent, and it's just another
distraction, as far as I'm concerned.

Stall lights are even dumber, but at least they have the advantage of
subtlety.

They are that. As for the Arrow, its stall characteristics were completely
honest and I had absolutely no doubt when it was going to break. Frankly, I
don't need no steenking stall horn either... at least not in this aircraft.
