I think that the Sportsman 2+2 is convertible trike/taildragger. What a nice plane with generous payload, like a Volvo wagon. I'd look at a Bearcat too.
I've considered building but with a 150 in the hangar I can't see myself in a garage with a rivet gun for 5 years instead of flying around in 24F. Maybe I'll change my tune when I retire but I'll never REALLY retire. As a musician there's always work out there that's fun. Next up is the touring Broadway production of Chicago. The band is on stage and I'm told that I sit just behind the chorus line. Talk about best seats in the house.
But I digress.......
