I’ve been to the owners airplane hanger in Salzburg and seen his collection. I bet that’s one of his planes.

What is that metal object below the fuselage?

Is that some kind of control surface, like a giant flap, to allow the plane to fly very slowly?

I was wondering how the gliders keep up.

If you don't know, then we don't know. Yeah I'm guessing to help with speed/stability.
