Hey All,

I am hopefully going to be acquiring a set of plans for the Spencer Air Car soon.
I really think the Air Car is a fantastic looking craft, and it seems to offer everything I am looking for as far as capabilities.
The modifications I am interested in have to do with reducing drag, in order to gain some more speed, and I would appreciate any input you may have.

Here is a list of possible mods I have thought about, in order of complexity, practicality, insanity?

Landing Gear - Could the nose gear be faired better?
Mains - Tuck them in flush with cabin sides?
Sponsons - Tuck into bottom of wings?
Wing - Full Cantilever(get rid of struts?

Looking forward to hearing from you

Thanks in advance
