A friend put them on his 170 and they added better low speed control but did not really allow him to land much slower because if he increases his angle of attack to the stall he will land tail first with the mains 3ft in the air. ....


I guess your c172 is a taildragger, or else I'm missing something.
I've heard that the cessna camber-cuff wing is very similar to the Horton cuff, but I'm surprised that you could get approval to install the horton stall fences without actually having their cuff installed.
