RE: Winglets
No, what I meant to say was it should not help past the subject of helping reduce vortices. However, maybe roll rates will improve, especially if ailerons run close to the wing tips. It would seem that tip plates and winglets would give ailerons more undisturbed air to work with.
I've wondered what tip plates would do to a Somethin Extra. I may tack some on tomorrow if the weather cooperates.
