Anyone building new open cockpit planes?

Is anyone manufacturing new open cockpit aircraft? I'm aware of the
Waco Classic Aircraft Corporation, which makes new WACOs, but that's
it. Is the WACO the only new built open cockpit aircraft around?

Well, if the orginal poster wanted to build, there are a power lot of
options: Flybaby, peitenpol, baby ace, starduster, breezy, locomp,
spacewalker, tuholer.

And thats a list I came I came I came up with without working very hard.

But I don't think you read the question, or perhaps I was unclear.
I'm looking for manufacturers who build planes for sale, and these
planes have an open cockpit. I'm not asking about the homebuilt
industry.

Aerolab, an Italian company, has three nice open cockpit planes:

Nope, the LSA prebuilt versions are still in development...

The Pitts from Aviat can be had open cockpit, but it looks like you have to pre-order...

There's a company in Alabama or Arkansas which essentially build Stearman
from scratch. They are a thing of beauty, and great fun to fly.

I Saw the Hatz Bantam at OSH and thought it was a great looking bi-plane,

Wow . . . I doubt Classic would consider it . . . but imagine a scaled
LSA version of the YMF-5, perhaps behind the Rotax radial. That
would be cool.
