REFLECTOR: 65VT/ angle-of-attack system

[Jim Sower]

Angle of Attack is a very useful tool for conventional plan form 
airplanes.  It is of little value for canard type aircraft since the 
wing you're trying to observe is the canard, and the incidence and 
aerodynamic properties (like stall AoA) are constantly changing (with 
elevator deflection). 

It just doesn't tell you anything particularly useful ... Jim S.
