twin-engine kits available

I'm doing some research on what kits are available that are a twin-
engine design.

I'm looking at possibly building and was curious since Google finds
the obvious but didn't want to wade through 20 pages of stuff to find
the non-obvious.

Thanks.

Hi Brad, the big question on my mind is WHY?

To me the why nots include:
- more cost
- more complexity
- more maintenance
- more fuel
- and unless it can get you home on one engine... LESS safety.

You could have a look at
http://www.aeroprakt.kiev.ua/eng_html/main.html
they have two twin designs the A-28 and A-36.
But it's unclear to me if these are offered as kits,
and as I presume you're in the USA
they might well be too far anyway.

I have no idea if the following are the "obvious" finds but here they are
(Just FYI: it would have saved me the time to compose this message if you
already knew of these and had mentioned them in your post):

Ah yes, the Cri-Cri. Cute plane, really! But... Two little hi-revving
2-stroke engines. What could possibly go wrong?

I forget what year it was that two of them took off for an airshow flight at
Oshkosh. One of them lost an engine on takeoff and damn near crashed into the
crowd.

Those kits looked horribly expensive. I wonder what the Tecnam P2006
will sell for?

Answering myself: the P2006 list price is 260k euro. It seems that
gets you a fully assembled certified 4 place IFR twin.

I don't think anybody is going to buy one of those twin kits, are
they?

The current guess is US$250K. (I'm doing BFR prep with a Tecnam dealer.
It's been 32 years since I last flew...things are different from then.)
