Default Anti-stall flow directors - anyone..??

Hello, I have in my files an interesting article from RCM magazine April 1987 issue written by Don Sobbe (see pics). He describes an easily added gadget which is said to delay stall of the wing root and apparently used on some full size aircraft.
So simple and yet so effective also on model aircraft according to the article but I have so far never, ever seen a model aircraft use this device....have you..????
I plan to add this gadget to my current canard project on the bench in my shop but before proceeding I would invite anyone out there to share experience or viewpoints on this addition...Thanks....and Cheers/Harald
