Yup, that is the one.
It began life as a trigear. It was the prototype for the Nigerian Air Beetle project.
It got converted to a tail dragger in the late 90's and served with Mike Seager as a transition training airplane until it was involved in an "incident" at OSH when a new Lancair pilot was a bit behind his airplane.
It was later repaired enough to allow it to be put on static display.
A lot of people did tail dragger transition training in that airplane... my self included.
