Is there any home built plans for a twin engine?

Rutan Defiant is a push/pull composite twin 4-seater.

I believe it was kit-built, with the kit supplied by the Rutan
Aircraft Factory. OTOH, the old kits were probably much closer to
plans built than kitbuilt today!

Zenith aircraft has the Gemini but I don't know if they have ever acctually
sold the plans or any kits...

You can see it at www.zenithair.com

There is a twin homebuilt out of Great Britain (?) - there was some talk
about plans being available but I don't know how that shook out. The plane
was featured in Kit Planes I believe, a number of years back. I also
recall that it was aerobatic capable.

Spectrum Aircraft has three different kit-built twins:

And don't forget the Leeza Lockwood Aircam.

Not a twin, but how about a "triple ?". William Wynne is putting 3 of
his Corvair engines on an original design. A poorman's Ford
Trimotor?. If you browse thru his website you will find some photos
of the project. I have made a model of a twin I want to build ( 4
seats - looks really cool ) but I'm waiting for the right engines.
The Jabiru 3300's would work but those things are so damn expensive.

I could only find one:

And it doesn't show it as such, yet...

Some cool designs, but I'd like to see higher cruise speeds and would
be willing to give up the slow handling.
