Between, the doghouses, lawnmowers,stopsigns, round-to-its, startships,
Buck Rogers spaceships, cars and boats -- all have been done at one
point in time over the last fifty years.

Of course, you can get an idea of the sta bility of some if you check
the AMA web-site and see which designs are not allowed under the AMA
Safety Code or other rules.

I don't recall the AMA safety code prohibiting any specific designs of
planes (beyond things like metal props, certain fuels, or gaseous
boosts and requiring special approval for planes over 55 lbs or
powered by turbines.)

Which rules prohibit certain airplane designs?

Now THAT looks like fun!  Too bad it is not allowed in the AMA...no
functional rudder and a turbine.
