Default Where to add Stall strip

Hello all,
I'm getting ready to fly my new CMP chipmunk 40 next week. My understanding is due to its design, it has a tendency to tip stall unless you come in much faster that a regular chipmunk that is offered by other manufactures.

Therefore in order to prevent from tip installing, I'm planning to add "Stall strip" until I get use to it flying characteristic
My question is where I should attach the stall strip, and how thick it should be and what length?

Here is the specification of the wing
Wing span: 57.5" tapered wing
The wing root:10.5" wide
The wing tip: 6" wide

Also the wing seems to be much ticker at the root and getting thinner toward tip.

Thanks
Borna
