Airspeed Kit Contents

(Click on picture to see detail)

FEATURES:
* Transmitter (in aircraft) sends airspeed information to hand-held receiver on the ground.
* 0-230mph Digital Display (Real Time airspeed displayed on hand-held receiver).
* The Receiver (with the antenna retracted) can be placed into your shirt pocket or clip it to your belt 
    using the optional belt clip. 
* Airspeed is displayed as Indicated Air Speed (I.A.S), not ground speed, which is proper to predict stall.
* Two audible airspeed alarms can be preset:
       1- Stall (Vs)speed alarm. The stall speed audible warning is progressive. It starts beeping very slow beginning 
       at 20 mph higher than your preset stall speed. It beeps faster as the speed decreases and approaches the 
       preset stall speed. This gives you advanced warning of the actual stall. The buzzer can be silenced by 
       pressing the plus, minus or set button.
       2- Maximum (VNE) speed alarm. To help prevent control surface flutter, AMA 200 mph limit 
       requirements for jets, etc.
* The stall warning buzzer can also be used as a take-off aid. As you start your take-off roll and reach your 
   (Vs) pre-set stall speed (Example 25mph) the buzzer starts beeping very fast and decreases as your speed
   approaches your rotation speed (Vr) 45mph (20 mph above your pre-set stall speed). At 46mph the buzzer
   shuts off as you rotate for take off.
