Default First Scratch Build

After building about half a dozen kits, I'd like to try a scratch build. I really want to build a classic stick type plane.

I have the plans for the Classic Ugly Stick from this site:

http://www.profili2.com/eng/plans.asp

I have access to Autocad and a good plotter. I have plotted the plans at full size (~60" WS) and at 75% (~48" WS) because I may want to build it a bit smaller. I have an extra .46LA which may be a bit weak for the full size plane.

My question is, are there better plans for an Ugly Stick out there? These look really good to me, and I am sure that I can easily handle the build.

Thanks for your help
