Or you can leave the outer panels off an ASW17 and run it with 15m tips

Of course, the best 20s are not as they came from the factory, but
ones modified by Rick Wagner. All the ASW20s he saw were EXP. Rick's
recipe:
Cut off inner end of flaps, bond to the wings.
Build better wing root fairings. Think ASW27 with the fairing
extending forward of the leading edge to the canopy rail.
Cut off outer end of ailerons.
Cut off wing tips. Discard.
Build new wing tips. (looked between the LS-4 and original ASH26E
curved tip)
If it doesn't have a tail tank, add one.
Modify the trailer so the wing root fairing fits in the roof and
clears the floor, and adjust tip hold downs.
Wil Scheuemann's recipe was more like:
Remove skin of outer trapezoid.
Replace with same airfoil as inner panel.
That would probably spin like a top if you didn't behave, but go
like a bat out of hell.
