Where's the stall warning horn? I'm still utterly

isn't a stall warning device on each wingtip? Is this
really that
much extra drag? Is it more drag than that caused
by having
to make a wing design that buffets before a full stall?

There are gliders that are equipped with stall audio
warnings. Most of
these stall warnings have been switched off permanently
because they
were yelling all the time while thermalling.

In sailplanes the stall warning instrument is a little
bit of grey matter fitted just behind the pilots eyes
and between his ears
