Looking for ideas.

Just completed an RV-8 and looking for my next project. Thinking I might like the experience of a rag and tube build. I contacted Kitfox to see if they offered a "Starter kit" like Vans does with its empennage kit. No joy. I've sent a message to see if I could buy the horizontal stab without the fuse kit. Waiting for reply.

How have others "tested the waters"?
