Notes

Stall strips are small wedge-shaped strips on the inboard leading edge; their sharp edge separates the flow early so the root stalls before the tips (Boldmethod).
That keeps the ailerons working in the early stall and creates buffet several knots before the stall, adding warning (Boldmethod). Washout serves the same purpose (Boldmethod).
No published sizes were found; fit them by flight test.
