My definition of a Stall Strip is a V shaped addition on the leading edge of a wing that causes the inboard section to stall sooner than it normally would. The purpose being to provide earlier warning before stall occurs. The installation that Dean Edson has is a Turbulator Kit (small vertical fins attached aft of the leading edge) that keeps flow attached to the wing. Dean says they dramatically lowered his stall speed. Steve Colwell (in Dean's EAA Chapter) Posted for "N320GG" : I received the following note from Dean Edson when I inquired about stall strips (Gary Melton LNC2 N320GG): 21102 Bayou Dr Bend Or 97702 541-388-9902 www.pnwaero.com As I mentioned at the Chapter meeting last Wednesday, installation was straight forward and the results amazing. As I recall the cost was in the $350 range. I have their demo video (VHS) which you are welcome to have. Good Luck, Dean -- For archives and unsub http://lancaironline.net/lists/lml/
