Where's the stall warning horn? I'm still utterly baffled why there
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.
