Ed at edshoe5272@gmail.com has a deal for you.  For those who may not know, the Ellipse was Dean Wilson’s 4 place design, but only 5 or 6 were ever built, It was featured here several years ago, maybe someone can pull it up? BTW, Dean is still doing OK.

I almost bought an Ellipse! It was a beautiful plane. Could fly very fast and very slow. This was many years ago. It was an unfinished "kit" The wings came completed because they were so complex. Made of wood. Then common sense took over (for me anyway) when I realized just how difficult it would be to repair a wing if a ground loop or something damaged it. And I would be just the one that something like that because I like to fly and land lots of places that are sub optimal. I ended up passing on it but it was a GORGEOUS plane and would have been incredibly practical except for the complexity of the wing.
