A little bit about myself. I live in NJ fly out of Sky Manor with a none biplane I build (RV-8). Looking who is positing here some of you know me already.... .
The reason I joined is that I am getting antsy again wanting to build something else. I decided that this time around I want to do a plan build project, preferably steel/wood/fabric. As for flying characteristics I am looking for something with one seat I can do sportsman/intermediate acro with that fits into the LSA restrictions (1320lb max takeoff, 51mph stall, 138mph VNE, fixed pitch). Not to worried about Vne as that's just were I draw the red line before certification but the remainder needs to fit the airplane I choose.
Looking around it seems there are a couple of candidates this forum covers which fit that profile. Was thinking of the Acrosport 1 (seems difficult to get plans right now though) or maybe a one seat version of an Acrosport 2 (just admired Chris's on Sunday). If you have any suggestions I should check out I would appreciate it.
Thx
Oliver
