Default speedy Aspire?

Hey all, I crashed my wonder a while back and getting the itch again for some speed. My question is, have any of you ever cut down the wing of a 2 meter sailplane to 48" and added power for some decent speed? I have a hanger 9 aspire sailplane that I don't fly anymore and was thinking of cutting off polyhedral wingtips to 48" and modifying it for bolt on wings and cowling in a 25fx and am looking for ideas or advice if anyone else has done this. The fuse is 44 1/2" and fairly clean dragwise. Also need to revamp canopy attachment for a more solid mount. Looking for some feed back on this idea, so let me know what you think!
Matt.
