Yep, I'd guess those wingtip fences postpone stall quite well...
Yes they Do ! And you really can't even see them form over 20yards away if their
made with 10mill Mylar. The mesurment across the back is 2 1/4inches, (57.15mm) then
they taper down to the width of the airfoil at tha thickest part.
IREALLY "Like" your magnet trick !! Would Ya please post t pic when figured out ?

I've always heard that the last effective control as you enter a stall is the rudder.
...

Do you find the rudder coupling a problem in cross-wind landings?
I heard that also about the Ruder being Last to go.
Another Really Cool benifate from the
wing-tip gates is that they increase the efficency of the ailerons thus giving them control
much further into the stall. For This reason i add more control travel with the servo then
add EXPO to give me a nice low stress place in the center, ((kinda like flying with trim tabs)).
I do cut down the travel adjust for Low rates but the EXPO stays.

ON the cross-control thing :
You CAN do that for cross-wind landings just like normal, but now everytime you adjust
the alerons, you Also get a Rudder adjustment along with it, without even thinging about it.
