RE: Low wing plans
This would be a great opportunity to draw a set of plans for the fuse et all! A simple box fuse with turtle deck formers with stringers to give it 'character' as an open cockpit 2-holer, nice laminated tailfeather outlines reminiscent of 'old timey' airplanes. Be sure to wire or strut brace 'em for strength. You could mount an alum gear plate just ahead of the LE like a SIG 4*40, too! Just a thought- good luck!
