.. an inclinometer knows naught about AoA, the latter involving the windy bits as well as where the wing might be pointed ? and not much about anything if there be other than gravitational forces involved.

In the same category as the old furphy about using a pencil suspended on a bit of string to let the pilot fly in IMC without an AH etc.

Or am I just getting too old for all this heavy stuff ?
