Newbie announcement

Hello all!

I'm a newbie...So I've got my asbestos suit on...

I've decided it's time for me to build an aircraft and maybe even fly
it
one day.
I've been eyeballing this and similar groups and the usenet trying to
make some good decisions on where to start.
I've got the complete plans to the Affordaplane and it looks like
something I am capable of and can afford.
None of the other planes I've looked at are anywhere near this easy or
cheap. Also, it's capabilities are within my specs (6' 2" tall 260lbs).
I also have not found any qualified detractors of this design(so far).

Does anyone here have a suggestion of a design that might be a better
fit? Does anyone have any thoughts on this build at all?

Thanks for the input - good/or bad.

-Randy
