I work in a metal fabrication shop. I have nearly unlimited access to square tube and sheet aluminum. My dream is to build a Single engine, Tandem Seat, Low Wing airplane of welded aluminum tubing and riveted sheet aluminum. The fusalage would be fairly square with two open cockpits like a bi-plane, only with just one lower wing. I was thinking Corvair engine, but why not a GM V-6? I would hate to try to design it myself. For one thing I just dont have the expertise. There must be plans available for just such a project but in weeks of searching the internet I have yet to find what I am looking for. I can't be the first to want to build something like this. Can someone point me in the right direction?
