I fly power too and I have to disagree with you. The
stall warning is of great input to me. I want it to


Cessna part # 0713348-1 Stall Warning Horn (harmonica type)
$13.09

I wonder about the dimensions (curvature), and how hard it would be
to put one on each wing of a 1-26?

I've had no experience with fiberglass, so I don't know

The stall 'horn' in the Katana DA20-C1 is nothing more
than a hole in the leading edge that at the right angle
'whistles'. Quite effective I might add too! Ready

not so keen on having something else the pilot has
to
LOOK at (vs. hearing). But who knows, and it's a fun
experiment...
