Hi,
One of the planes you might want to investigate is the Spratt103. There are a number of things about this plane which might appeal to you.

1. First, plans are available for it at only about $100 if I remember correctly
2. It is CHEAP to build. The designer claims that you can do so for under $5k. Build time about 200hrs
3. It is extremely simple to fly - more so than most - because it can't stall.

You can find out more about it here: http://spratt.103.free.fr/spratt103_english/welcome.htm

Its only "disadvantage" is that it is a European design, not American. Here's a picture of it.

Regards,
Duncan
