Stalls??

By that I mean for laminar flow wings without stall strips, the
stall
occurs at a low speed is not reversable; it really requires an
increase of speed to start flying again. With stall strips, loss of
lift occurs at a slightly higher speed where just dropping the nose to
reduce the angle of attack will resume flying status. I suspect that
of one could fly the same plane with and without stall strips, the
bare wing would be flying all the time at the speed where the plane
with stall strips would experience the mushing... I really can't say
which plane would do which... I'm just reierating some basic
aerodynamics.
No. this just isn't so. Laminar airfoils are just like any other except
they tend to break a little more briskly.
