Hello, I built N63974. It had the 90hp engine if my memory serves me correctly. I added about 3-4 inches of height between the main gear and the lower fuselage to improve visibility during taxiing. That's why it has small fairings where the main gear meets the lower fuselage. I did not add the wheel fairings but it my opinion they make the airplane look even sleeker and surely improve speed. I've searched the web for the N# and it says it's been de-registered. Anyone know where it is? Thanks, John Gibbs
