Default RE: AMA Accepts Rules Change Proposal in Time for the NATS

Wings level telemetry feedback would be a great training aid e.g. The tx beeps at you if your wings are out my more than a user set number of degrees. An intelligent system would quit moaning at you when the roll rate exceeds a certain value I.e. it would only moan if the plane is holding a certain wing position and that position is not level, and would not moan when you are doing rolls.

You may be amazed how many line, heading and other problems orgiginate from the wings not being level, and I have seen many good F3A pilots flying with a wing low and having to cross correct with rudder.

Lots of pilots think they know where 150m is and are amazed when somebody stands on the centre flag and tells them how far away thay are actually flying. Same goes for wings level.

Is anyone aware of a sensor that could be used to feedback wings level with an 18mz? Sorry, don't want to hijack the post, but would appreciate any feedback.
