    John is correct. The real value of adding winglets to a 20 is the
    improved handling. It is much less tiring to fly the glider with them
    on. Climb is much improved since centering becomes easier with better control response. Worth the investment? Yes.
    hi just wondering if anyone knows where i can find hank nixon winglets? i am looking to buy a glider but have to get the winglets for it
