When I was landing in the Storm Century today, I didn't hear a stall horn go off when we touched down on the runway. Is this type of LSA usually equipped with a stall horn?

Most LSA's don't have stall horns.
I guess the LSA Mfgs. think we are better pilots than the guys that fly GA. :lol: :lol:

The LSA's I've flown, Remos, Evektor and Gobosh all had stall horns. The Evektor stall warning would go off just taxing (well, sometimes - not all the time). It wasn't until I got into my StingSport when I first encountered an LSA with no stall warning. The stall on the low-wing LSA's is so subtitle that it sometimes can be difficult to tell, but with enough practice it starts to come fairly easy. The Remos on the other hand - whooo boy, a stall in that puppy and you'd have thought the right wing fell off the plane.

At least that is from my experience... others mileage may vary. :)

Maybe I it is an option not standard for a Storm Century. I guess my flight school chose not to have a stall horn for the plane. I even flew one of their 172s and I don't ever recall a stall horn going off on their 172 during landings. I think it is an old 172, maybe that's why.

Some of the Dynon equipped airplanes have angle of attack indicators with an audible horn. This works kind of like a stall horn, but not exactly the same thing.
