Stall strips DA20

Hi all,

I have a question regarding the stall strips of the DA20.

If my sources are correct, their primary use is to encourage the stall where they are mounted.

Besides this, they also create a buffet near the stall which can be felt through the control colums.

Now my question is, why are they mounted close to the wingtip on the DA20 rather than wingroot ? Wouldn't it be preferable, to enhance the stall characteristics of the aircraft to have them mounted close to the wingroot ?

Best regards,

Julien
