Solution incorporated exchange to standard and "extended" wingtips-with-winglets ..
I remember that it was mentioned to bring PW-5 L/D up to some 35-36 ...

Any info would be highly appreciated since we plan to use our PW's strictly for fun flying and all of them are "experimental" ...

Thank You guys for sending me this link (presented below) ..
Nope this is not a link I was looking for (one I remember was for PW-5 explicitly). However I see winglets building process is NOT THAT COMPLICATED AT ALL ...
We may evaluate it and design PW-5 oriented solution. Will see...
here is that link: http://gonzo-home.com/winglets.htm

However is somebody would find out about PW-5 wing extension / winglets solutions (or any other perf improvements) ... Your post / update would be highly appreciated...
