I speak for myself when I say I am an amateur builder and a pilot not an aircraft designer (and I expect that is true for many on this board). Modifying the washout, dihedral or elevator travel may give you the intended results or may make them worse. Moreover they may introduce an unintended characteristic that could be worse than the original risk. One nice thing about this plane is that it is a well known and characterized design. What you are suggesting is moving toward an experimental plane vs an amateur built plane which is fine if you know what you are doing. All that said, in addition to practice and training I use and recommend a stall warning device as an added measure of safety.
