I have to goals: I would like to get into aerobatic flying, possibly competitions and I would like to build my own aircraft. I did 5h aerobatic training 8 years ago so I know that I like it but I will basically have to start from scratch again.
I have a very limited building space in my garage (18'4" x 9'2") but I would like to be able to build all the major parts there.
Wood is my preferred material but I don't mind having to learn to weld.
I am 6'2" so the cockpit needs to be reasonably roomy.
I have so far looked at the following types:
Jungster I (+all wood -small cockpit)
Smith miniplane or the miniplane 2000. (I don't know much about it)
Baby Lakes
Dr107 One design (This one really excites me but would it be too hard to build and fly?)
Jurca Tempete (Is the wing a single 19'8" piece? How aerobatic is it?)
Corby Starlet (How aerobatic is it?)
Any suggestions and input is very much appreciated! Thanks!
