Hello to All,
Iam new to this list, but I am not a new homebuilder. I have built two Midget Mustangs and started a third. But like many aircraft homebuilders I would like to build my own design. Iam at the age now where I don't care to carry passengers. I what a single seat A/C. I don't care to go fast. Maybe an all metal low wing VW powered taildragger. It would have to have a big cockpit for my big butt. I know there are aircraft plans and kits out there that fill my needs, but are not my own design. The aircraft I am thinking about that is close to my needs is a all metal Colibri MB2. I know it is made of wood, but my close copy would be all metal.
Maybe a little back ground would help. I am a retired Aerospace engineer with 45 years in aircraft structures. I have worked for Grumman and Lockheed Martin. My last job was working on the F22 before retiring in 2000.
The help I need would be finding plans for the Colibri MB2 can anybody help.

Thanks
Jim Williams
