Just for discussion, what opinions are there for an individual
lowering the stall speed of an existing wing considering
constructability and cost?

I remember there was some leading edge profile modification studies
done years ago but can't see that as a practical approach for an
individual.

Thinking about how to add sailplane-type upper surface spoilers, WW2
fighters underwing dive brakes, etc.

Are you wanting to slide your plane into the sport pilot rule perhaps???
