ORIGINAL: Pat Barnes

Of all the info available now with telemetry, the one I'd like most when flying a model is IAS. The great thing is that it doesn't have to be accurate. Put it on your jet, see what speed your jet stalls at, add a margin for safety and you're set. AOA might be a tad more tricky to set up, but would also be a cool bit of info to have. With any new technology there will always be the sticks in the mud who will resist, with the usual 'when I were a lad' arguments. This looks like a great piece of kit! Thanks for the link.

Cheers - Pat
Pat- I am not resisting AOA, just don't know how much it costs to add that readout and how much data can you absorb when landing. I will be happy to get IAS for now.
