That's a real problem and prejudice you have there Walter.Because you will never get to Toronto which should be your over-riding ambition unless you trust the products of Bill Boeing Monsewer Airbus or M .Bombardier.
And if you seriously intend building your own aeroplane take heed of the plight of a friend on the eastern edge of PA who now has a garage full of precut components that one day should form a flying machine but first he has to drill a few thousand rivet holes!!
here are three examples of what your plane might look like

the The shell X100 by-plane by the eccentric UK artist Roland Emett

a "flying machine" by yet another eccentric UK artist W. Heath Robinson

and his "the new holiday aeroplane"
