Chris,
I did a search on the Canadian Aircraft Register and the registration
numbers 'C-FGPC' belong to a Beech 200C turboprop that is registered in
Calgary Alberta. This retractable RV-4 seems very elusive.

There have actually been 2 RV-4's with retracts.
One was done by Dave Lewis in Hillsboro Oregon for a customer. The plane
was black and gray and has had at least one gear up landing. It was a lot
heavier and not that much faster, but did it look cool.
The other is the blue and white one from Canada.

Well maybe then there are three ...
Klaus Roth built (????) two RV4's as I recall. One was regular gear and the other retract. I also think one was flown by his wife and the other by him.
D-ESKR and D-ERKR

I just found another photo of what appears to be the same plane with the
same paint job in my collection of RV photos and this one has a tail
number of "N66PB" So seems it was sold to someone in the USA. That
number does show up in the FAA DB. I also did a search in the NTSB DB
and didn't find any reports there so maybe this isn't the one that had
the gear up landing that someone mentioned.

A fellow in Germany named Klaus Roth built one just recently. It is a really beautiful job but as others have already stated it flys no faster...just looks faster. There was a good article in kitplanes about it written by our friend Ishmael Fuentes. The picture below comes from Dirk Schlichtenhorst's RV 4 web page. http://www.rv8r.de/welcome.htm.... I personally wont be trying anything like this on my 10 project but I certainly want to see the results of others efforts. I spoke with at least one builder who is converting to a taildragger....maybe the same guy?

See the plane in flight with its "sibling" below ...
Also another "retract 4". Both photos were from the "archives"  of a local RV4 builder, "RVRC".
