Kit plane in EU?

Hi,

I'm looking into how big the regulatory trouble is to make a kitplane (Airdrome DR-1, replica of the Fokker DR-1 Triplane) and be able to fly it in the EU.

Plan B is how to get it registered as an ultralight (it is <300kg) ,although then the individual state rules make it more difficult to cross different countries (pre-approval needed for ultralight etc.)

In my homecountry of Belgium, it seems that I can not even have it registered as it is not on the tiny list of approved kit-aircraft.

Is anyone here in the know of what EU country is the most lenient regarding kits; if once registered in such a country, you could fly most places?

If you have other good ideas I'm anxious to read about them.
