I'd like to hear pilots thoughts on this idea and if they would be
interested in such a device.


To be useful it has to measure alpha or, if pitot based, has to be
compensated for wing loading (ballast and g). I already have a
wingloading and g compensated slow speed warning in my glider
(Cambridge 302). As I mentioned in an earlier thread its main use is
to remind me to adjust the ballast setting if I forget after dumping.
