In the vein of this thread, Mike, over on RCG, is doing an interesting exercise. He took the venerable "first low wing" Skylark design and modified the foil to better suit his flying preference. He went a step further, and took those original lines and modified them with a swept wing and stab, a slick looking fuse in a very cool resulting model.
Starting with the right design (probably not a Tipo), an inverse exercise, might also yield the desired plane.
