    I know this is going to sound like the guy who has only a hammer, so every problem looks like a nail, but how about Eric Clutton's FRED? Except for not being a kit, it meets your other requirements. Full disclosure--I created and maintain the non-commercial fan site www.cluttonfred.info. Cheers ,Matthew

    Thanks for the additional ideas, guys.

    Pat, the CX4 looks like a good fit for what I need, but I have one question. Several of the Experimenter articles mentioned building from a kit, but the Thatcher website makes no mention of kits whatsoever. Was this option abandoned, or are the kits sold by someone else?

    Matthew, I've seen FRED before, and it's a great take on the parasol genre. Unfortunately, I'm not a big fan of open cockpit flying. I know that's heresy in some circles...

    Don't let large props scare you!

    Naw, it just means we'll put you on the list for re-education.

    Frank, not much chance of that. My daily flyer has 14-footers!

    No, I haven't made up my mind, but I don't think I've seen anything yet to move me off of the OneX. That said, I'd love for someone to show me something that works better for me!
