thanks for the replies.

What I am struggling to understand is if the aircraft is in a banked turn the upper wing will be travelling faster. This means that the winglet, which has an aerofoil shape, will be producing lift. With this lift and the cant angle will it cause the aircraft to turn more into the turn or will it try to draw it out the turn and back level?
