agree that spanwise movement may be different but seperation before centre of pressure movement is surely the same on conventional or swept wing

my point is that leading edge spoilers are used to encourage the tips to stall before the root and that is their primary purpose. (remember with buffet,it depends were the tailplane is sitting, eg high mainplane to talplane or conv mainplane to t tail)

in the usa many cessnas use this mod for just that reason.

so to recap we have some aggrement that
leading edge spoilers cause early seperation at the root(djpil)
so now may i ask if any of you belive that flaps down config delays seperation???

beagle
model a/c may be boys own stuff but most protoypes start life as a model.

by non pilots did you mean people like barnes wallis!!???
