Waht do you guys think about the new stall warners being sent out with the new kits? My wing kit came with it, but I don't think I really want it.
I could cut out the aluminum, add another electronic device, and connect it to a horn or light, or...um...watch my airspeed indicator!
I kind of don't see the point.

I don't have one. When the RV gets near stall speed, it is pretty apparent. The controls get very mushy and you know you're slow. However, you only need to get distracted once in order for a stall warning device to be worth it!
If you're going with a Dynon or AFS setup, you can use their AOA devices, which are far superior to a simple stall warning device.

Prepunched?
My wing skins were pre-punched for the vane so I went ahead and installed it. I am going to put it on a separate breaker so I can pull the breaker if doing acro, mis-adjustment on test flight, etc. If the skins had not been punched for the vane, I would have left it off.

I just unpacked my leading edge wing skins and see the holes that are pre-drilled for the stall warner. I guess it's a no brainer now-I will install it.

So...for those of you that did install the stall warner, how did you dimple the holes for the bracket that gets mounted in the leading edge skin??
The manual gives the option to countersink and use pop rivets, but I really dont want to do that!

I was able to open the skin enough to dimple it with the R2D2.RV7A wrote:So...for those of you that did install the stall warner, how did you dimple the holes for the bracket that gets mounted in the leading edge skin??

I was thinking that hooking up a buzzer seems a little lame. A little too Cessnaish. Maybe we could wire the switch to a hammer attached to the seat that would hit us in head befor we stalled.
