I fly a Peterson 260SE which is a radically modified Cessna 182 Skylane (N735GH). It has canards up front, 260 HP fuel injected Continental IO470, cuffed leading edge on the main wing and speed mods on the cowling and wheel pants.
The airplane cruises around 150 KTS and stalls at 35 - 38 KTS. It is a truly amazing airplane with a huge performance envelope.
It can take off in 400' and land in about 500'.
I think this would be a very unique aircraft to have in the flight simulator world, I have never been able to find one and don't have the time to learn 3D design.

http://www.260se.com also, that is the page for the actual company that does the mod. You have permission to use any pictures on the azhangar site for your designing needs.
You may be able to use the stock 182 and add canards and re-paint. Maybe modify the performance numbers too.
Thanks
