Yep, I am building have built an airplane in my garage. It's called a RV-9A, designed by Van's Aircraft Corporation. I guess it doesn't
help much
to tell you that this is not as crazy as it sounds. The kits and
resulting airplanes are great, and there are thousands already flying from
this manufacturer alone. Once it's finished it will be
faster than most production light airplanes, yet more efficient than just
about any other airplane. For example, it will
cruise at 190 mph while still getting better than 20 mpg.
