Whether or not you can add wing extensions or winglets I cannot say -

We have several in the club (private and club owned) and they are much
loved. *They are a great stepping stone ship for new pilots to move
from trainers on their way to slick modern long wings. *Inexpensive,
benign, a reasonable XC ship, very easy to rig, and, from what I can
see, strong. *Don't be a snob.


Not to mention, that there is no less expensive, new glider build in
the last 20 years.
