Another vote in favour of audio warnings which are hard to ignore and do not
interrupt
an already busy visual scan on final approach.
I regularly fly another taildragger with Dynon AoA & audio warnings - a bit like
parking sensors theres a beeping tone which becomes faster as you approach the
stall - fantastic.
My Europa has the Smartass which is also good.
On balance I prefer the AoA since the stall is directly related to AoA & correct
approach speed IAS changes according to A/C weight.
Some good AoA landing videos on youtube.

Roger

which I think he fabricated himself by slipping a slightly wider aluminium
pipe over the original probe, and chamfering the front end to match the angle
required for an AOA probe. I fitted this to the inspection panel on the
starboard
wing, after replacing the acrylic cover with a metal cover, and used this
for my Dyson Skyview AOA gauge, and it works well. Fortunately, I had some
unnecessary wiring running through the wing which I used to feed through the
necessary
tubing. I have attached a couple of photos.
