The same airfoil with the winglets show drastic performance increases in the areas I mentioned.

That was a GREAT question. A really neat thing for the caompany to do is build a few without the winglets and let people jump BOTH. If they winglets really do that much...Then that would be a selling point that you could show the customer. I trust Beezy, so if he says they do it...I bet they do, plus the theory is sound.
