P-26

How about taking a Fly-Baby and installing a Rotec 7 cylinder radial.
Then adding stringers to round out the fuselage. Slight change to the gear, taller headrest and a change to the vertical fin shape to call it a P-26.
It fits the outline very well. There is a guy in FL who can CNC cut all the wood parts and water jet the steel parts.
There is a two place fly baby with the Rotec engine already installed so the engine mount exists. weight is similar to the continental.
