Ok This one is HARD to fox my way into, but I got in and I am totally ready to fly! (yeah I wish)
Homebuilt Pietenpol Sky Scout
The Sky Scout was a small, single-place airplane designed in the 1920s by Bernie Pietenpol. Intended for home construction from readily-available materials, it was built of wood and fabric and used a Ford Model T or Model A engine for power. Very few were built as it was overshadowed by the two-place Pietenpol Air Camper. Pietenpol's designs remain popular today among people looking for inexpensive ways to fly.

Plans for the Pietenpol Scout are still available from Bernie great grandson I think it is. They both are cool little aircraft and way over built! An engineer friend of mine things he could take about 75 pounds out of the Air Camper and about 40 to 50 out of the Scout. But Bernie just kept beefing things up till he stopped breaking them... Barnyard engineering at it's best.
