I may have overlooked a few, but if one were looking for a kit
that:

1) is light sport compliant,
2) is low wing,
3) uses tricycle gear,
4) is of metal construction,
5) built using primarily pop type rivets,
6) and has a bubble canopy,

Are there any other kit aircraft that I overlooked that match
those 6 points?

Sonex

I was going to suggest that but it doesn't have the
bubble canopy.


HUH????

Looks like a bubble to me....


OK, perhaps we have different notions of what a bubble is.

I thought a bubble means you could look out the back of
the cockpit through the canopy. If it has a turtle deck, it's
not a bubble.

Think of the progression fo canapies for the P-47. The later
models were bubble.


The RV 12 will have a turtle deck also, they talk about the "roll over
protection" in http://www.vansaircraft.com/public/rv-12int2.htm . --
