Default Washout?

Thanks for all the advice and discussion. Looks like stall strips
could be the way to go. I think I'll experiment with the VGs too.
BTW, the wing is rectangular.

Since the AOA is reduced by the up-wash we must predict that a
rectangular wing will have a greater effective angle of attack at the
root, and therefore will stall first at the root.

YMMV.
