Default Stall warning with switch

I have a stall switch and tab in left wing wired as a G3X input. On the ground it is stalled by design so the tone plays in the headset for a stall. Isn’t there some way to make it smarter than that so it doesn’t alert till flying?

The tab should be down on the ground and not make contact unless you move it "up" by hand. You should hear the switch make contact when the tab gets moved to up. The allen screw inside is used to adjust when this makes contact. Mine is working properly with the G3X setup. Double check the wiring and the pin number in the connector, it should definitely not be activating on the ground

Are there 2 terminals on the switch, or 3? If 3, any chance you wired the wrong switch terminal?

Pretty sure mine had three. Had to pick the normally open terminal.
