Default Using new variometer technology to display real time liftcoefficient?

Too much audio - too many distractions. How about a vibrating seat
cushion? It could be programmed to increase the frequency and amplitude
of the vibrations as AoA increased and give you an electric shock just
before the critical angle is reached. Of course, if you have a sore
back, you'd be flying around at too high an AoA just for the good
vibrations... =-O

Also did that. Works great, and shows nice things during spins!

I think audio aoa makes most sense, but you also have the audio vario.
Somehow intuitively providing feedback on attitude/velocity during thermalling might improve the tendency to thermal with a too shallow bank angle,or flying the incorrect velocity for the bank angle.
