Neat looking thing. I wonder what the down-turned stab tips do?
I guess form does follow function...It's getting harder to tell the various trainers apart now. Not like the old T-28's and T-34's!

In a conventional layout (wings in front, elevator in back), the horizontal stabilizers are usually inverted airfoils, actually producing a small amount of downforce. If you put up-turned winglets on the main wing to increase efficiency, why not put down-turned winglets on the horizontal stabilizers? I'm actually surprised nobody's done it before now.
