Hi!
For valentine's day, my wife bought me plans for a Mustang II, which I would consider my "dream" airplane (cross country IFR platform). Ive been doing a lot of looking into it, and to equip it how I want and to build it is going to take at least 10-15 years. I'd like to get airborne before then.
So, I was wondering if anyone has recommendations for an "around the patch" airplane. My criteria:
1) 2 seater (tandem preferred)
2) Open cockpit
3) Reasonably quick build
4) Kit availability is a plus
5) Can fly on a "cheaper" engine... VW, O-200, etc
6) Anything other than composite construction
7) Reasonably well-known design - I don't want to be a guinea pig
8) Mild acrobatics a plus
Any thoughts?
Thanks!
