Some kind of biplane
I have been eying a few different biplanes like a Starduster or a Airdrome replica. I've also liked that rotec Pietenpol ever since I saw it in Sport Aviation.

Gotta admit, those KC Dawn Patrol planes look like a ton of fun.

Sport Trainer
I've been kicking around the idea of scratch building a Wag Aero Sport Trainer. I told my wife I wanted the anti-RV-7. Something low, slow, high wing, tandem seating, tube / fabric, etc. Put some big ol' wheels on it and just for fun I might use a Corvair engine.

I've been thinking about building a Kitfox 5, 6 or 7 (whatever I can find a good deal on) with big tundra tires. I'd keep it super simple. My first airplane was a Kitfox 4, and I really enjoyed it. I think the Sonex Onex would be a lot of fun, too.
My buddy had a Pietenpol Air Camper. He flew it from California to Oshkosh, took 2nd place in the unlimited category of the Airventure Cup Race, and sold it in Chicago. Fun plane, but open cockpit isn't for me...

I built the best of both worlds. A RV 7 and a Backcountry Super Cub.

Just Highlander
My Highlander kit should be delivered next weekend. My first build was a PulsarXP which was all composite. The second was an RV7A, mostly working with Metal of course. This one is rag and tube which I always wanted to do. This one will be fun to get my tail wheel endorsement and eventually I'll put it on amphibs.

The RV-3 of Biplanes?
The exquisite little Skyote is a great choice for builders who are up to a real building challenge. Aerobatic, 630# empty weight, professionally designed, flight tested and approved by Bob Hoover, light sport, what's not to like!

Mine is almost ready to cover.
It's going to look like this ( I hope!). You can learn lot's more at http://www.skyote.org .

I think this is a neat airplane but I'm to fat to get in one
