It was my understanding the Jodel/Robin wing was efficient due to the tips being at a lower angle of incidence than the rest of the wing to reduce drag at cruise attitudes. The tips only providing significant lift at take-off and landing. The tips are also angled upwards to provide dihedral for stability and to reduce wingtip vortex drag.
