design challenge

While looking through Wikipedia's list of experimental WWII aircraft, I came across the P-75 of which only 14 were built. (From Wikipedia) "The Fisher P-75 Eagle is an American fighter aircraft designed by the Fisher Body Division of General Motors. Development started in September 1942 in...

I am choosing to build the one known model of it that has...

I am looking to try my hand at foam board aircraft design so I can fly it over the summer and gain some experience. I have built a few of the FliteTest aircraft in the past so have some experience in building, but have never designed one myself, and am looking for interesting project ideas...
