 Dave Samuel asked if anyone had installed stall strips on a IV or ES wing.
 
 Yep.  After Charlie Kohler wrote up his story in the Lancair Network News
about 1998, as I recall, on how to recover from a flat spin between 10,000 and
2,000 feet I thought it was a good idea to investigate getting stall strips on
my IV.  It was good timing since I still had the wings on my table and almost
ready to paint.   I made a point of sitting down with Martin Hollman next to
his Stallion  at the Palm springs AOPA convention that same year.  After a
couple hours with Martin, I came back with the design in hand and put them on
my wings.
 
  I wrote the procedure up in the Lancair Network News with pictures--and as
soon as I can get back to the archives I'll report more on this or better yet
get something out that can be downloaded.   Mark Kirshner did discuss this in
a recent LML that had the exact dates of everything.
 
 The stall strips are very easy to make and install.  18 inches long, 2 feet
out from the wing root, 1/2 in. wide at the base, 1/4 in. high, mounted as
close as possible to the stagnation zone on the leading edge.  ( I mounted
mine as close to the middle of the leading edge as I could)  The good news is,
they do the job, at least on N32BY.  When Charlie was teaching me the stalls
at 10,000 ft, we got consistent clean breaks with no wing drop.  Charlie's
comment was,  "its those stall strips".
 
 Mrs. Frantz gives me the AOA stall warning at 70 kts dirty and 80 kts
clean--Angle, angle, push--Thanks Linda.  I like to hear that just as the
wheels touch on landing, then I know it must have been right.
