A a PFA inspector I see a lot of kit aircraft and very few impress me if I was to buld an aircraft it would be a Vans or a Falco.
The europa is not a bad aircraft and a jodel would work well but the bottom line is that most of what is avalable are toys that won't ever see 500 hours flying or are such bad kits that they won't leave the ground untill they have past through the hands of six or more builders.
There are a number of good kits that I have excluded on grounds of cost or that they did not meet your performance spec.
For most people the Vans is the answer it flys very well and is constructed in a way that most people can understand, it is easy for the semi-skilled builder to inspect and make a judgement as to the quality of his/her workmanship before the inspector sees it.
Composite aircraft require much more detailed inspection from thr PFA inspector as it is much easyer to get something very wrong with composite and for the builder not to know about it.
