Most of the discussion on this thread about winglets is the additional stresses that they impose on a wing. I don't think anyone has stated here that winglets are the sole possible reason for the cracking of the pickle fork There are other possible reasons why the pickle fork could crack including High CYCLES vs Hours.Folks on this thread have brought up many possibilities for the cracking of the pickle fork including improper manufacturing or assembly processes.
