Yes I was talking about the SFG sorta. The ones Im talking about look like the pic below. The stock SFG's that come with this plane are definitely a different style.

Top photo are the wingtips, bottom photo are the side force generators. You can use them separately or together, just like the Extreme Flight MXS. Would look something like this:
"SFG's" or Side Force Generators as they were originally coined are just vertical wingtips that help smooth out the vortexes that roll off of the wingtips. Airliners have them to help aid in stability when in the air and for turns, but we use them to help with high alpha knife edge as well as low and slow huckin', they make the wingtips a lot more stable and can help reduce wing rock in harriers and make your rudder feel like it's a lot bigger or has more authority. When you change the airplanes angle relative to its heading (knife edge for example) they will force air in the opposite direction you are going to help generate more lift, or make your airplane turn a lot smoother.
Definitely worth having them on a 3D airplane.
The MXS uses them to help push the tip vortexes outward and away from the airplane, and reducing induced drag. Basically they make the wing effectively bigger and slipperier out at the tips. Not sure how effective they are on our smaller airplane.
