Englishal, you still have to pull the stick a long way back at a higher speed to stall the wing. Try flick rolling. As a rule of thumb, the stick posn is broadly constant.

falling out of the sky machine

Is it safe to go flying now ??
All this technology could get in the way of enjoying stripping !
A tin of Sparkle for the perspex works quite well, and its cheaper.
IMHO

John (Harrier) Farley did a great article on AoA in Flyer a wee while back. The impression that I got is that it takes information from all the performance instruments in the panel to give you the information to make a decision on AoA which can more easily be provided by an A0A indicator.

However, is it that critical a requirement? It's down to personal taste so QDM, we're all waiting to see what hoops the CAA made you jump through to fit it Bet you wish you had a big engined J3/L4 on a PFA Permit now

Is you line on the wall still accurate with landing flap?

More or less right because you already have a pitch down moment with landing flap at near threshhold speed. In reply to a previous sarky comment, you are unlikely to pull the wings of if at or below Va as a full and sudden up elevator will stall the wing and therefore unload it. Anyway, I am too old to have my brain tested like this.
