I think it's the type Heath Parasol Type N that was built in my own town.

Because of this I wouldn't mind building a replica (If I win the lottery) using modern materials, like 6061-T6 tubing and gussets. Yes, I know. All the calculations would have to be done. Essentially a new design, but i would like it to be as close to the original as possible but with new materials.

Would it meet LSA specifications?

Has anyone done anything like this. The only ones I can think of are the Aerodrome designs. But are there any classics from 1920-1940?
