Winglets ? What's that then ?

Winglets are those funny looking turned up bits at the end of all 'modern' glider wings.
Allegedly they improve either performance, or handling, or in some cases both.

Whether this is really true or not  has always been debatable, but one thing's for sure,  us Mini Nimbus owners aren't going to be left behind !!

Some intrepid owners have  modified their ships to incorporate winglets, and as much detail as we can get on them is presented here...

For now, here's a picture of the aforementioned items..
