hay does anyone have an idea what those things are they look like dive planes on a U boat

[kaz3g]

Looks like a canard wing to me...there is a Cessna C 182 mod that uses these to give super STOL performance called the Peterson Wren.

 

There was one of these C182s operating in Victoria a few years ago and I heard it was for sale. There was another one being rebuilt by Eddie L at Coldstream. This guy is a bit of a wizard with restorations.

I remember thinking the same thing when I saw this picture a long time ago, by the looks of their position they must be connected to the rudder pedals and I presume assist with adverse yaw? Certainly not a common mod. The fabric on her wings is very loose too. Not a good fabric job........

what issues would the loose fabric cause

 

 

[farri]

The top surface isn`t too bad! The creases are running off from the point of the battons. Having made up a few sets of skins, it looks to me like the fabric has been sewn wrong!

 

Air pressure would take up some of the slack but it certainly would have some effect on performance! The tighter and smoother the skins the better the performance.

A good example of the 182 mod!

Rudder? Maybe Elevator.

 

Loose skins poor performance.

Obvious, it is the mount for an ipad.
