I fly power too and I have to disagree with you. The
stall warning is of great input to me. I want it to
go off during landing but not until I am within a couple
of feet of the ground if it is beeping at me when I
am still high on final Its input may save my life!
The same would be true of my Ventus as well! I have
many more hours in my Ventus than all of my power time
so it is not as likely that I would have a problem
in keeping the speed up but when flying different gliders
or other power aircraft, I appreciate a stall warning.
It is easy to get distracted and slow down your scan
of all of the instruments as well as looking for traffic
and maybe the trim is not set just right and the aircraft
starts to slow down on final. This is when it works
for me IMHO!
