I still have the standard tips, which have a downward skid, which are the same as you can see on this pictu http://aviation.derosaweb.net/dg101/...1RP_deploy.JPG
Would having the optional TN 301/20 wingtips/winglets fitted make a difference to this downward flexing?


No. Any small change in the last 10-12 inches will not change the twist that has been imparted of the last 10 feet of the wing.

Still very interesting to see that happen. Are there any other gliders that have this effect at higher speeds?
