Yeah, that's right. I have a vague memory of an article in Popular
Mechanics about someone building one. I think they might have published
plans for it, even, as they did back then. Quite a challenge to make
something like that! I suspect it must have had a single castering wheel
hidden underneath fore or aft.

Nope. Those things had two smaller wheels that ride inside
each tire. The main tires have no inner sidewalls, and the actual
suspension is a bar that reaches into the inside of the main and has
two small wheels on each end of it that ride on the inside of the
mains' treads. They have a wheelbase of 10" or so, enough to keep the
machine upright. Fools lots of people. The flattish-looking main tires
give the game away to anyone with any mechanical knowhow.
A guy here in our area built one and drives it in the local
parades. Has hydrostatic drive, too. Runs the smaller wheels.

Wow! never expected to hear from anone who knew of one! That sounds pretty
complicated. There can't have been many guys who built those. So the outer
tire just flexes and acts as a sort of track for the inners and, i suppose,
they just use differential power and/or braking to steer.
Cool!
I must have a look for the old plans..

So, someone did do at least one copy of it. Might write to Mr Schlatter
and see if he has any plans copies.. Not that I need another project!

The m20J is pretty slippery already and when it was introduced in the
70s was a big step up in efficiency in a production airplane.
Homebuilts do do an even better job of cleaning up aerodynamically.

The little seals on the flaps and so on were lipstick, the real gain
over the Mooney Executive had to do with the 201 getting a more
aerodynamic windscreen and engine cowling.

We have no serious complaints at all about the airplane (well, in a
rainstorm getting in without getting the seat wet is difficult,
checking the fuel is hard on pantyhose sometimes) but finding a couple
more inches of manifold pressure would be very handy when trying to
get to 12000 feet quickly. Once there, we can sip 8 gallons an hour
and move along pretty well.

You don't get a couple inches on the 201. You will hardly notice the
difference and most 201 owners remove the cabling since it adds
complexity to annual (having to drop the cowl and re-rig the cable
each time). In the pre-201's it adds 3/4 of an inch.
The 201 easily gets to 12,000 feet. I live at the foot of the Sierras
and sometimes cross at 16,000 without turbo. If you don't have it
already most of us consider an engine monitor to be minimum equipment
for take off. Add to that a fuel computer (I wouldn't own a plane
without one) and you can really manage your fuel.
