I know its been suggested on this list that installing the strips is a good idea, because without them the ES exhibits no or almost no buffet approaching a stall. My concern is, will these stall strips actually increase the stall speed. I know that on a Piper Tomahawk, which is the plane I did most of my training in, the stall strips that had been FAA mandated because of the Tomahawks horrible and sometimes deadly stall characteristics, did in fact increase the stall speed considerably. If memory serves correct it was about six knots ( two strips per side). My concern is, will the strips have the same affect on the ES. I have a AOA installed already and my #1 goal is the lowest stall speed possible. Anyone's advice or thoughts on this would be greatly appreciated.
