Stalls??
-----------------------------clip-------------------------
But when they break to a stall, it happens abruptly, at too
low a speed. They are totally stalled, and to boot one wing always
stalls first, falls of and immediately a spin develops in that
direction. One simply has to know that slow flight is always a touchy
thing to do and airspeed observation is crucial. The Mooney series
has leading edge stall strips about 30% out from the wing root to make
the stall beak earlier at a faster airspeed where control effectivenes
is better. light and powerful rudder and you have one easily spun
airplane.

Stall strip on inboard portion of wings are to cause the inboard
section of wing to stall before the tips, where ailerons are located..
This is to give you some aileron control in early part of a stall.
You say "But when they break to a stall, it happens abruptly, at too
low a speed".
I've stalled aircraft at 400-500 mph. Not a big deal.
