Looking for a good set of parasol plans

Then by all means, start with the Wag-Aero Cub and work your way down.
Wag-Aero offers an excellent set of plans at a very fair price,
allowing you to study the standard against which all other parasols
have been judged for the last 60 years. If you decide to go with the
Cub you will have the option of buying those components you feel are
best left to a more experienced fabricator, reserving the easier but
more labor-intensive tasks for yourself.
Should you decide the Cub is more airplane than you need (it isn't, but
for the sake of argument...) then you will have a basis on which judge
other designs.
As for the engine, there's far more of them out there than most folks
realize, for despite all talk to the contrary our numbers continue to
fall and the smaller, older engines continue to become available, often
at give-away prices.

The Wag-Aero Super Trainer looks kinda interesting (who wouldn't want a
Super Cub and if I'm building a tube and fabric plane from scratch
anyways . . .
), but their website looks moreso to be selling lots of
component kits. I've ordered the catalog so maybe that'll have
something additional, but I wasn't actually able to locate a plans set
anywhere on there.
