The change from a Parasol of the A-2/E-2 to the "razorback" J-2 was
merely cosmetic. You can very easily build a parasol from the Wag Aero
plans by omitting the upper fairingof the aft fuselage WITH NO
STRUCTURAL CONSEQUENCES.
http://www.goldenageair.org/collection/1932taylore2.htm I say that is
a parasol. A Super Cub has, for all intents and purposes, the same
structure, but with a non-structural cosmetic fairing on the fuselage.
Bob's point was the quality of the plans. Other points I will add are
wide availability of pre-made parts.
Another design the original poster might think about: Stewart Headwind.
And the steel tube fuselage version of the Piet, the Grega Gn-1 (well,
there is a wood version too, you chose) is set up to use A-65 engines,
and wings from whatever air-knocker is hanging around the hanger. The
GN-1 is also set up to use a lot of pre-made parts from Piper Cubs,
allowing you to trade money for build time, if you've got more of the
former than the later.
