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.



See....

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.

Which brings us all back to the question What Is It???
Rectangular wing or soemthing else?
