Default RE: Adding winglets to ARF wingtips

I read Ed article on the subject of adding end plates and had several talks with him about possible configurations etc. for my particular model. As I recall tapered or elliptical shaped wing tips are the least effective in promoting lift while square tips or end plates are the most effective, plus have an added benefit as they also help to reduced the stall speed of the model.
