Stall horn

[Rick]

I am still new to my GCBC and between a busy summer of work, and being out of annual she is ready to fly. I noticed yesterday during flight I did not get a stall horn. It tested on the ground before and after flight, although it seemed to take more than just light pressure it sounded. In flight during stalls nothing, during landing while trying to hold off as much as I could, nothing. Not wanting to remove the screws until I'm sure of whats behind that plate, I thought I'd check with you pros here to see if you have had any similar issues. I'm hoping it is something that some steel wool and alcohol will easily fix. Thoughts??

Stall horn? When did they start putting those on?

You lucky dog! Mine goes off on approach. Fortunately the David Clark ear pieces attenuate it down to almost nothing. Whoever heard of stall warning horns on aerobatic airplanes?

Somebody may have "adjusted" it for that reason.

That's a good point, but the first owner didn't use it for aero. I guess I really paid attention cause I was stalling in different configurations to get a better feel for the plane and realized no horn before I felt the break.
