If you're designing your own fuselage.....an ASH25/Nimbus/DG
biplane perhaps?

Be worth a trip down under just to see it.

If you put quad controls in it could be even more fun
- instructor says 'you have control...not you...you...no
you..'

The idea of a joyride machine with multiple places
was discussed
at our club a year back and some design ideas tossed
around ,
the concensus was something like the DG505 wings attached
to a
light tube and fabric fuse with either a triangle seat
pattern or a
4 seater star pattern.
This concept was emailed to the owner of DG and the
answer came back
that DG had discussed this very idea for a limited
production run
but the engineering loads on the fuselage wing junction
were very
high and would take a lot of redesigning to get it
to work and secondly
the DG505 wingset were simply not strong enough to
take those loads.
A Nimbus4D or an ASH25 wingset maybe?
