if you're really interested go look and see! the cost of the trip may save you  money and or headache, in person you might save on the price or they might through in some extras. it's always worth while to look and touch!
good luck!

i ran cars with wings on the top, angle,placement, adding a wickerbill either 1" or 2"changed the handling big time  so canards must work but not as noticeable below 200 MPH but the angle of attack must be important and if they have side-boards to control the air stream and  stop spillage

check plug reading 101 the ground strap, the flat ring portion next to the ground and color at the base of the porcelain and the number of darkened threads means something different .if I find one i'll post it so someone on here could post it.
