How about checking the wing fuselage junction and the underside of the wing.
A somewhat more sensitive method is to brush on a coat of used diesel oil,
fly the a/c while taping then land to give the flow pattern a close look.
Any flow disruption will really stand out. Can be done both top and bottom
but I'd expect a separation bubble on the lower surface. After the test we
use a citrus based cleaner to de-mess the wing.

Well, being a future air racer, I thought I would be a good experimenter
and find out how the airflow acted over the top of my wing at different
airspeeds. I dutifully tufted a section of the top left wing with cotton
tufts and launched with a video camera.
