Folks,
Trigear GOURO
I have the RMI instrument which as well as giving Rate of climb, TAS, CAS,
Alt alarms and all kinds of other things also gives low airspeed speed
alarms. I have found it to be more than adequate and tends only to alarm in
the very last part of the flair, by which time the rear wheels are about
touching the ground and only once or twice on rotate if I pull it off too
early. (only did it to try it you understand, I never pull the plane off the
floor unless I am "OVER" 55 knots)
I don't have stall strips fitted and cant get my head around fitting some
when it feels fine as it is. With greatest respect I watch my speed like a
hawk as I know it keeps me alive. Do too many warning systems offer us a
false sense of security and offer us the opportunity to relax our piloting
skills when we need them?
Regards
Kev T

If you haven't closed your wings yet, I'd go for the Stall Warner. I
believe Europa has a kit even if you have closed your wing, but installing
the
wing open kit is easy. That way, it's there whether you use it or not.
