gurney flaps

note to self: those are called gurney flaps and not ducktails as it is colloquially called in the philippines. what does it do - you ask? well, nothing much. it just enhances the wing for further downforce. check wikipedia on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gurney_flap for further info.

but will it work on the rear end if it's not attached to an airfoil? hmmm. i wonder.
