As an owner of a SZD 55 I am interested in the comments of Peter Masak about winglets on the 55, but couldnt find the above mentioned results when typing Peter Masak SZD55 into google - does anyone here have a link?

Anyway, I'd also like to see pictures of a 55 with winglets, just out of pure curiousity - simply cant imagine how winglets work and look like with the very special shape of the 55 wings.

BTW - wasnt the 55 wing especially designed to work without winglets, turbulator tape etc.?

Here is the Canadian 55 with winglets

Legend has it that these were factory prototype winglets from before SZD
went bankrupt in the 90's
