We all have stall warning horns/lights in ag spray planes. Almost everyone has disconnected them. Another useless instrument when it comes to flying that is necessarily stick and rudder.

Dan, while I tend to agree that most stall warning indicators are of marginal use if you are current and have lots of experience in a particular plane, remember we are talking about glider pilots - most do not fly that much each year, and many may fly several different types frequently.

Heck, if you are comfortable in your plane, hardly any instrument is really needed. But if I could only have one - it would be a good AOA indicator :^)!
