I figured that the Voyager was not the only one. Apparently, I guessed right.
Here is a link for the Defiant:

Since you haven't actually started to build anything, this would meet all your criterion. Put in a pair of rotaries and you have your efficient, safe, and inexpensive homebuilt. Plans are always kicking around for Rutan designs. Sniff around a bit and you will be able to buy a set. Much more sensible than trying to dream up some "safe" way to split the cooling jackets in a single engine.

Nothing of that sort is in my budget. (nor exists that I know of) :-)
I guess you are all set now. No excuses. Get a set of Defiant plans and start cleaning out your garage. :^)
