I'm too lazy to read all the posts going back to last March, but "Best homebuilt" is REALLY subjective. It really depends on your mission and what you want to do with the plane. For some, the Bearhawk is the best homebuilt out there. For me, the Tango is the best homebuilt. Yet other people might think the Maverick jet is the best.

It goes beyond the actual aircraft mission though. The type of material that you want to build with can play a huge part. In my case, I specifically wanted a composite bird. Others prefer aluminum or wood. Not sure if anyone out there is building with concrete, but if that's what they want and they can get it to fly, it may be the best homebuilt to them.

Don't forget about the construction process too. Complete kit, materials only kit, 100% scratch built, 100% self designed, etc.
