I guess they wasted all that money & time to have the cantilevered wing since it has no effect.
That is not what I said, go back and read it properly. Simply raising the wing can't magically increase its stalling angle or the lift coefficient at any particular AoA. It can not generate one ounce more of lift at any AoA just because you alter its rigging angle compared to the fuz. If that wing stalls in level flight at say 150kts and say 15 degrees AoA, then it will stall at 150kts and 15degrees AoA whether it is raised or not. The only effect it has is to alter the angle of the fuz relative to the ground at any given AoA and the reason it was done is because the undercarriage does not allow the whole plane to be taken to a high enough AoA when its wheels are on the deck. The back of the fuz scrapes the ground. Much longer legs would have solved the problem but every alteration creates its own problems and the designers clearly felt that the problems of raising the wing were less than the problems of longer legs. If the wing raising was not fitted, or failed in flight, the approach speed would be much higher simply because there is a limit to how much the pilot can raise the nose due to scraping the aft fuz and thus would be flying the wing at a relatively low AoA instead of a high AoA.
