Gday Samuel,I too am at your stage though a little further on,I looked at the EAA biplane as a contender because I acquired a set of plans cheap,incomplete I might add,I even looked at used frame but in the end wise heads gave me good advice and now I have set of Hatz CB-1 plans in transit.I looked at all the options and my situation and made a decision that suited me and that is my advice to you,find an aeroplane that will suit your skill,budget,space and time constraints and build.It's all about baby steps. Cheers Ross
