Good stuff, I have an
AOA Pro. The manual states to consult the POH for the stall speed. Do all
L4P’s stall at the same speed? I know all GIII’s
don’t.
The only way to get
an accurate stall speed is to do a 1G, straight and level, power off stall.
Then you know what to enter in the AOA for your airplane. Or you can use the
POH data, but that defeats the purpose of the AOA, you might as well just use
the ASI.
Common guys, these
are not unstable computer controlled fighters. Learn to fly your airplane, learn to fly a stall, especially if you are going
to do acrobatics.

Au
contraire, mon ami......
The
Advanced Systems AOA does not require stalling the aircraft. Read for
theory and calibration:

One of the main reasons all of us IV-P
owners have a hell of a time getting insurance for our airplanes is because
too many guys "explored" the stall characteristics of their airplane (and
for many it was their last flight). I fly another airplane that can
fly comfortably at 60 degrees AOA, and have a good bit of time as an
operational test pilot, but I will never stall my IV-P intentionally.
Or even get close. Like Colyn and John, I'm 120 on downwind, 110
at the base turn and 100 on final until the runway is assured. Unless
we fly the pattern at 8000 feet AGL, a stall will probably be fatal for any
of us. Please don't be the next one to prove this point
