Looking for anyones input for a design

[William (Z)]

Greetings!

Not sure how to start my post, or where i should start it but it’s my first time so here we go.
I’d like to mention first, that I am not an aeronautical engineer nor claim to be one.
This is a personal project I’ve been working on for a while now, in secret and would like anyone's input, be it the good, the bad or the ugly.

so now for a story.....of how this design came to be

Since age 8 during my first flight in a piper warrior, I was bit by the freedom of flight, since then I had always wanted to build a plane, but never really knew how much work it took to design, or to even build one alone.
So in 2015 age 25 I had the idea to get in contact with an aerospace engineering firm, I wanted to get a quote for a design that I had in my head, they quoted me around $100K

So after dyeing a little bit inside, I figured if it’s that much money, I can do it myself. (boy I had no idea what I was getting my self in to.)
so I purchased Solid works and got to work teaching myself how to use CAD.
A year later i put my project on hold and signed up for College, I then went straight in to the Aviation Science program where I acquired my PPL.

After getting my PPL I resumed my project and dove deeper in to aircraft building and engineering.
I started buying every book I could find on aerospace engineering, from aircraft structures to aerodynamics.
but I still wanted to know more, so i started asking around and was usually told, just to buy a kit and modify said kit, then to design my own aircraft.
plus it was less of a head ache.

So putting my project aside I went out and acquired the plans for the Cassutt Racer, thinking I would do that to get a better understanding of how a plane went together, though Cassutt’s are a cool plane, it still wasn’t my design, it was Tom Cassutt’s design.

So I went back to sleepless nights and more Solid works.
I used the plans for the Cassutt, to teach myself, (with plenty of help from the many books i had acquired in a 7 year span) how to dissect the Cassutt with understanding, while learning/teaching myself Solid works.

So after many (iterations, engine type changes, Failures of having to start all over again, all the sleepless nights after work, weekends glued to a screen over a crazy idea and the times being I was told it wasn’t worth my time or the head ache....

I’m now to a point where I would like to show it to who ever would like to see my design as a pathfinder but please Keep in mind that there are things missing in the photos on purpose, and that this project is still in its infant stages, there is still a lot that needs to be done.
Also, if anyone would like to give me some constructive criticism or pointers, I’m always willing to listen, and learn.
