Is it possible to add an Angle of Attack Indicator by way of a mod to an aircraft?
I was speculating the mod to be a "weapons mod" to the "gunpods" for example that a P-38 can use.
It could be, instead of guns in the gun pods, a lengthy pole with a "flag" indicating "relative wind".
While I am sure the pole is possible I am ignorant whether the "flag" is possible (one that flaps in the relative wind).
The reason being as an aid to learning how to fly as per the 1944 book "Stick and Rudder", which I have bought and find brilliant.
