Registered as a "research and development" project this machine flew in the late '50s to investigate the possibility of being amateur built for less than $500. In the end the designer/builder came to the conclusion it was "impractical for safe operation by amateur pilots." Many engines were trialed - from 2.5 hp to 25hp.
The designer built quite a few different aircraft and styles - two of his aircraft were at various times called the "World's Smallest."
