Default RE: Adding winglets to ARF wingtips

The Winglets will work in theory. As stated above, they serve the purpose of keeping the low pressure above the wing and prevent some of the high pressure air from spilling up over the side of the wing. The spilling high pressure air reduces overall lift. As such, adding winglets and thus increasing lift should help prevent stalls of a plane with an increased wing loading.
