Big Bird
Pre-Flight
I don't really know how to frame the question 
, but here goes.
I'm a 1600 hour spam can driver since 1980 and own a C206. Besides a couple of Bonanza ferrys, and a certification flight in an amphib Otter, Cessnas are all I've ever flown.
Lately I've been thinking about building/rebuilding an airplane. As much for the project as actually having two planes to feed
. I've been an EAA member, looked at lots of stuff on the web, and can define my mission differently on any given day. 
Having the 206 satisifies my cross country and heavy hauling needs. If I seek more speed from an experimental it will be complex, particularly for a first timer and expensive. I find the airlines to be useful in fulfilling that mission.
I'm interested in learning aerobatics. I've been a pax in a Citabria for a few rolls, loops, and 8's, but that's it.
So, it seems to boil down to low and slow, with aerobatic capabilities. My question for builders is; what have you built that meets this mission?
Thanks for any info.
