May I interest you in considering the Bob Morse Cessna UC-78 - from the Sky King TV series?

I am not sure why this plane has not been covered more - those plans are from 1964.
There should be a few places to modernize, I would think.

I have printed out plans bought the engines for this, but like you am taking an intermediate step - the twin version of Great Planes Super Sportster by James Feldman, Jan 1985 RCM. I'm thinking that if at least a couple of us get going on a plane we can finish faster -

Cheers,

That is a cool looking design!

I sort of have my heart set on a WW2 German warbird though. Either an ME 410, or a JU 88. I attend a lot of warbird events and so I will be building something military. Most of these German designs were taildraggers, so that is why my practice plane will be set up that way as well.
