Yep! Some answers have been answered. But there are still some others............

This airplane has the "Murphy Wings" that are referenced. I am curious if these are associated with Murphy Aircraft? These wings are longer then the original Bede wings. So given speeds would also be different, I imagine.

There seems to be a weakness in the original Bede landing gear. But this airplane has been modified with Cessna gear. And we all know how stout that is!

I have sent the owner a heard of questions. (Many thanks to Gary!) When I hear back I will share them here.
