I like the engine in front, that way I'm not the first thing at the crash. At the speed these crash it could make a significant difference to your health. 

 

The engine is based on a VW aircooled engine called the better half.

I would also like to build a SG-38.

I like the Dream Classic.

 

I've also been always interested in ultralights, but they do seem to have a bad track record for safety. Although, when you read the incident reports, it's mostly pilot error (lack of training) and engine problems (they spend a lot of time sitting between flights).  That's what convinced me to wait until my kids are grown up to try one.

I think that's a wise choice. No kids here so possibly in the near-distant future? I don't know - that or sport aircraft. Either way... the dream classic, with the engine at your head, scares the piss out of me lol

Remember, when a propellor blade breaks it goes forward, not rearward! The pushers have more potential to put pieces into the pilot then the Dream Classic.
