After 450 hours, last flight in it for me...

Cool!

Heard great things about those winglets. Rumor is they want to develop them for a whole range of aircraft.

Interesting. Do I understand correctly that these winglets have an extra control surface to make them “active”?

Yes. Essentially a spoiler which dumps lift in high g situations to avoid over stressing the wing. Means no need for reinforcement.
