One of the design features of the Cessna 150 that I admired most is the
stall warning. It is a small aperture in the lower curve of the leading
edge guarded by a wire screen (those pesky flies!) The cavity connects
to a tube leading to the wing root in the cabin. There, covering the
other end of the tube is a mouth organ reed...

Hah!

Many years ago I took my then recent bride for her first small
airplane ride in a 150 borrowed from a friend (since my T-Craft had
been down for work for some time). Being young and foolish and a
showoff, I decided to do a spin, which is, of course, preceded by a
stall... to this day she tells of the flight, "Oh my goodness, we were
flying along and all the sudden a SIREN went off and I thought we were
going to die..."
