Good day

Yesterday I was trying a C150 for fit, and found it quiet tight for my size 6"6' and 240lbs.

So, I started wondering which homebuilt airplanes do exist out there, with the docile flying characteristics of the C150, and built as a highwing sheetmetal airplane?

the planes I've found are;

- BD4
- Zenair 701
- Zenair 750
- Zenair 750 Cruzer
- Savannah S
- Savannah XL
- Vimana from ICP
- Parrot from Czech Aircraft Works
- MFI 9 HB

I would be interested at pure sheet metal constructions, no hybrids in therms of building materials used, like tube and fabric, composites and wood.

what other birds do exist out there?
