Default Homebuilt twin?

Is there any home built plans for a twin engine?

Rutan Defiant is a push/pull composite twin 4-seater.

I believe it was kit-built, with the kit supplied by the Rutan
Aircraft Factory. OTOH, the old kits were probably much closer to
plans built than kitbuilt today!

sold the plans or any kits...

There is a twin homebuilt out of Great Britain (?) - there was some talk
about plans being available but I don't know how that shook out. The plane
was featured in Kit Planes I believe, a number of years back. I also
recall that it was aerobatic capable.

Spectrum Aircraft has three different kit-built twins:

Not a twin, but how about a "triple ?". William Wynne is putting 3 of
his Corvair engines on an original design. A poorman's Ford
Trimotor?. If you browse thru his website you will find some photos
of the project. I have made a model of a twin I want to build ( 4
seats - looks really cool ) but I'm waiting for the right engines.
The Jabiru 3300's would work but those things are so damn expensive.
