    Looking for wooden plane to build that has complete and correct plans

    I'd like to build a plane out of wood. Not interested in Hatz or Pietenpol. I need to build from plans which show the correct locations and dimensions and don't leave parts or information out. Is there such a plane? Thank you.

    Fly Baby, built using the (free) articles from EAA and the free construction guides on the PB100 page....

    Any of the Fisher or TEAM line. But first you need to define your mission; what do you want to use the plane for?

    And fair warning: DOn't expect perfection. Even the best plans are not 100.0% complete and accurate. There is always something the builder will need to figure out. Always.
    Measure twice, cut once...
    scratch head, shrug, shim to fit.

    Flying an RV-12. I am building a Fisher Celebrity, slowly.

    There are a number of good wood airplane designs out there, but.........
    You need to narrow down your requirements. Like: single place vs two place, tandem vs SBS, open cockpit vs cabin, low wing vs high wing, engine type, aerobatic, cross country machine or just to putt putt around for the fun of it.
    Once you know what you what, re-ask the question. You’ll probably get better responses.
    In my opinion ya can’t go wrong with a FB; it’s a classic.
