while we're on this, I'm interested where others, especially IVP owners, put their flap switch for
the AOA, and what the AOA really does with that information. Roughly speaking, it's going to store separate pressure curves for
flaps on and flaps off. but which would be most conservative: a) put the switch so that it detects ANY flaps b) 10
degrees c) 20 degrees d) full My thought was to put it at 12 degrees or
so. Colyn
[Having worked many airshows with Jim Frantz, the developer of the AOA Pro, the standard answer to your question
was to install the flap switch so it actuates with any flap actuation. It simplifies the installation and is the most conservative
setting. FWIW.... <Marv> ]
