While my 12 is still being built, as a winter wimp and while the garage is too cold to do much, I've been thinking about this very topic. Probably something still LSA (unless the FAA wakes up and gives the drivers license medical) and a steel tube fuse. Also, I'll probably be using a Corvair engine for the project and I'd like metal wings.
The Bearhawk LSA is a front runner although I'd really like a side by side. Also in the mix is a Pegazair P80/P-100 (there are 2 Pegazairs locally), a Wag-A-Bond Traveler and the Zenith 750 Cruiser sneaks in just because.
Of course there is the welding (or not)! Not is pretty much where my experience is, or should I say I've never...

Did someone say Breezy?
50% done, maybe 70% to go. Breezys are built just like they are flown... slowly.

Great looking Breezy, Jeff!
By the way, the Scotty in the corner looks just like the one my wife and I had in the late 70's.

Good eye Sam. It's a highly modified Scotty (note the EXPERIMENTAL placard) and has been to more Oshkoshes than most of the airplanes on this forum (mine included.)

Glen L Torpedo
Now that I am no longer flying, I've turned to the "Dark Side" and am building boats in my hangar. This is a Glen L Torpedo, a classic design similar to the older Ventnors. Powered by a 5.7 MPI Crusader engine, I hope to be done for this summer.

Hi Vlad!!
The Zip is being protected from all the sawdust I'm creating. I hope to have the Torpedo done by June and ready for the G9 at Hales Bar. You can follow progress at:

BTW: The Zip is for sale.

About a month after the RV left the shop, we brought this in:
About a year later, it looked like this
Now it looks like this
and this
almost as much fun as flying but different
