 |
|
Hello Kolb Flyers, Builders, and others…
After years of being a student of the Kolb aircraft, it is my concussion that the only limits of the Kolb Aircraft are the imaginations of the people building and flying them.
As for the use and need for an AOA…I live in Alaska, a fifth the size of the United State of America, however there are very few airports, and a lot more gravel bars, alpine meadows, coastal beaches, and rough patches of ice.
The modern AOA instruments are very valuable to people who fly the “edges." The FAA and the local flight safety organizations have been encouraging the insulation of AOA’s to save pilots lives. Moose kill a number of pilots every year, stall spin accidents.
Before I retired, I spent many hundreds of hours in the back seat of a Super Cub, identifying and counting wildlife with some of Alaska’s best pilots, who have thousands of hour in their planes. I however am not one of Alaska best pilots, and If an AOA can keep me from making a fatal mistake… the time to install, and the expense will be well worth it.

After reading about this subject quite a few times, I decided to do
something about it. I looked on Bing ( Boycotting Google) and found that it
was basically a weather vane with a graph. No reason that it could not be
duplicated in a manner that Herb would approve of. So below are pictures
of what should do the job just as well as one from Sporty's.
It is installed where I don't have to be too far from my main landing
instrument - ASI, so all that is left is to take a sharpie with me the next
time I go flying and find the " Aw shit" position, make a mark on the lexan

If nothing else, the price is right.
Waiting for a flight/stall report.
