However... - we spent 11 whole days getting them on straight and true - the original kit was jigged incorrectly and would have resulted in misalignment (food for thought when done professionally) - the foil profile did not match the wing at the join. This was corrected with re-fairing when the glider was refinished in Poland Whose winglet kit did you fit to your Mosquito, how did you know the correct toe in/out angles (i.e "Straight & True) & how did you measure the the toe angle when fitted. I'm dubious about the factory fitted winglets on my Discus B - again the cut angle on the winglet doesn't match the Schempp tech note. But the performance doesn't seem to be any worse with them than without and they stop the tip dolly falling off (When manoeuvring on the ground, before we get ay sarky comments!) so I continue using them.
