Description
You are bidding on a SUPERB and original matched set of TWO WW2 German Luftwaffe (Querruder) Flettner Tab Mounts, as ONLY used on the WNF DIANA built Me109 G10/U4 (613xxx block), and the Me109 K-4 series fighter aircraft!
Flettner tabs were aerodynamic servo tabs mounted to control surfaces to reduce pilot control forces at speed and improve handling, acting as an assistance and trim-aid system. These components were used on late-war Bf 109 variants as part of control refinement measures and are highly uncommon to encounter today as surviving loose airframe components.

Made of solid steel this flettner/servo tab arm mount set is an EXCELLENT piece of history and dates around 1945. They were found at the remains of the WNF DIANA Messerschmitt aircraft factory and are in NOS condition! They features much of their original RLM02 paint, and feature NO corrosion or damage. As original flettner tab photos in the Me109 are VERY hard to come by, I have shown what I could in the last photos. Mounted on the VERY LATE style Aileron, these would make a SUPERB addition to any collection, display, or restoration project!
