Technical question regarding stall limiter&stall horn
« on: January 30, 2009, 08:04:48 PM »
Okay, I notice that the stall limiter is adjustable offline in arena settings. The default number is "2". What do these numbers reflect? Is it the number of degrees short of critical AoA the limiter will hold your aircraft?

On a related note, any idea at what AoA the stall horn starts?

But let us say the critical AoA is 18.354 degrees, will the stall limiter, set at "2", hold your AoA to 16.354 degrees? Or do the numbers not directly relate?

that was the question i was not answering :) i have no idea..


i was just saying the "critical aoa" / stall horn should be dependent on the wing shape.

I ask this because I would like to test plane performance while holding a specific AoA in maneuvers. I also think the stall horn could be a more useful tool for me if I knew specifically the AoA it began to sound at.
