Hi all. I'm looking for some suggestions on some plans. No kits though, I
want to scratch build something. I want a 2 seater so I can bring up nephews
and nieces. I would prefer a biplane or hi-wing and something low and slow.
Most of my flying will be local with occasional trips between LA and San
Diego. As for build material I would like to stick to wood/fabric or metal.
Needless to say low build time is a plus. I am looking at the Zenith CH701
and the Loehle Early Bird Jenny right now but I was wondering if there is
anything else I should be looking else.



Thanks all

Bill A.
