A fraternity bro of mine, in the early 70's, built a VP-1 in his apartment. He took a picture "mating" an Allison V-12 engine on it. The engine was as long as the fuselage.

Great aircraft are the most simple and fun.

The challenge with the Falco is building the LONG one piece wing. It IS a beautiful, fast plane

I believe the CJ-1 Corby Starlet is missing from this list.

In Finland the money goes to authoraties for inspection for Airworthines Certifite wicth is dual inspection 500 Euro each and a third party insurance. Fast over what you paid for your experimental plane.
And thinking for flying illegaly, forgetit because these filming cellphones that everyone has.

The plural word longerons is pronounced LON-juh-ruhnz (US) or LON-juh-ronz (UK). It is pronounced with a soft "G" as in a "J" sound.

Dude ! you are talking full size aircraft but showing model (toy) aircraft construction diagrams, some electric powered. Please teach your A.i. to only use FULL SIZE construction diagrams. Otherwise a good production.
