Heres a rather nice video of a single surface flexwing ULM in Nevada:
Ultralight Trike Flying Las Vegas - YouTube

Kingpost removed and struts fitted.

But...
Previously a flexwing relied upon
a) tip rods to maintain washout
b) luff lines to provide reflex
This to maintain longitudinal dihedral in a dive, so as not to tuck.

Anyone know how the strut fitted flexwings are able to facilitate sufficient longitudial dihedral without please?
