I'm building an Aeroprakt Foxbat A22. I chose this (my second a/c, the first is an RV) for it's low speed ability. It has a quoted stall speed of 27 knots. I want to fit the flitedek D180, to save weight and maintain the low stall speed, but the spec sheet for the D180 shows the airspeed range as 30 knots upward.
Is there a solution?

We don't show airspeed until it hits 30 knots on the way up and it disappears at 25 knots on the way down. If you never slow down below 25 knots indicated you will still have airspeed as long as you go above 30 knots on takeoff.

There isn't a way to adjust this anywhere as it's a design tradeoff between low speed performance and high speed capability.

The best solution is to put the D180 in the RV ;)
