I replaced the wire blocks on the fuse with 1/4" ply (about a 2" section), and bolted on a Hangar-9 .40-sized gear with blind nuts in the fuse. It looks great, raises the nose slightly, is a piece of cake to remove/install, and puts the wheels slightly ahead of what's shown on the plans. And it looks great. The platform is a little narrower than the fuse, but too narrow looks much better than too wide. I can take a picture and post it when I get home.
