The stall warning in our clubs 24- registered gazelle is also disabled. Our CFI says that this is because it is unreliable. On the Port wing you'll probably see an open tube that points pretty much straight down from near the Jury strut. I guess the idea is that when the airflow into the tube gets to the right level, the stall warning will sound. The problem with this method is that it could be triggered by any significant change in the airflow (a large up draft could do it). And because of the way it works, and it's location, it is very difficult and time consuming to adjust.Stalls in a Gazelle are a real non-event - and you have to be going pretty slow to even stall. There's (virtually) no buffeting, no tendency to drop a wing and you have full authority of the ailerons (which you shouldn't be using). All you do to recover from the stall is put the stick back to neutral (to get it to stall you have to have the stick embedded in the cushion on the seat) and then apply power. I've done stalls while in a climbing turn, and the Gazelle just stopped climbing and started sinking. Our CFI was super impressed with how the Gazelle performed in performance limited Turns (basically you turn hard enough that the outside wing will stall). It would drop a wing (outside wing), then that wing would start flying and lift again, and then it would repeat the process. You'd basically go from 60 to 45 then back to 60 degs bank.

Hi, my sense of direction is terrible, I need a g.p.s but what to buy? Would like to be able to use it in both plane and car, dollars as always are limited. HELP.

Ok so what G.P.S. would you all go for. Say up to $1000.

John, whats the history of the gaz? I would be tracking the previous owner to explain where it is and why it was'nt identified on the change of registration condition report. What Registration category is it in? 24, 19 etc.

I have just purchased a Gazelle and am being instructed in how to fly. The C.F.I. is concerned that the stall warning has been removed. Any one know were I might get one?
