Which sport/acro biplane from plans?

Dave,

The M14P in the model 12 can be operated at 10 or 11 gal per hour just sporting
around locally. On typical flights, the fuel consumption is the same as a 540
lycoming. 170mph cruise at about 9000ft will burn 14.5-15.5 gallons per hour.

For the M337:
The Great Lakes Biplane 2T-1A from Great Lakes Plans Co looks like it
fits your criteria.

Where would I find info on this one? Great Lakes Plans Co doesn't
Google for me.

I am currently leaning toward the Pitts 12 but don't really want that
high of a fuel burn rate.

Well, OK, do a Murphy Renegade Spirit with an O-200 or a Baby Lakes or Buddy
Baby Lakes, and somebody here will take the Tee Crate off your hands.

There's only 1 wing.

aircraft
he should choose to build from plans.
What he wiches:

- single or 2-seat
- limited aerobatics
- engine M14P or Valter M332/337snip

That's quite a horsepower range - M332 is 115 to 140, M337 is about 210,
M14P is up to 360.

A pair of planes that have always been interesting to me are the DR-107
One Design (single seat) and the DR-109 (two seat)
http://members.aol.com/danrihn/rac.htm. They are designed for opposed
cylinder engines, but perhaps they could be adapted to the Valter M337.

Culp Specialties http://www.culpsspecialties.com has several designs
built specifically around the M14P.

A design that might suit the Valter M332 engine is Warner Air's Space
Walker II & Revolution II http://www.warnerair.com/.

hope this helps,
