Default Metal, low-wing, plansbuilt

I'm looking into educating myself about metal aircraft construction by
getting a set of plans for a low-wing airplane. The idea is then to
either design my own plane (no, looking at the plans is not the full
education, there's also a master's degree in aerospace engineering,
I'm more looking for detail solutions so I won't have to come up with
everything by myself) or just build the one I got the plans for.


Then you might want to narrow down your list just a bit towards what you
might actually want to build / fly - there is a world of difference from
one end of your list to the other.

FWIW I thought the T-18 plans were good - it was designed to be built from
sheet stock - not a kit with a bunch of pre-built parts supplied.

Many start. Few finish.
