I mean in this = century? The reason I ask is that (I believe) the zero point is set = with the 0G roller coaster setup. Your note suggests 0G would be a = negative AOA number on your airplane. I guess comparing AOA numbers as = a proxy for lift in all those flight modes is interesting but if the = zero point isn't right I'm not sure it has much value where the device = is needed. For my Legacy, I find it most useful in slow flight on = approach, especially at night, and I did do the 0G calibration in flight = this last spring. Bumping around during the day at cruise is not = where I would need it. Interesting discussion though.
