Here are some (on topic - no less) doodles of a small low wing.
inspired by Bruce King's tiny little BK-1..

It looks vaguely familiar. . .

I thought this was a really cute Hummel (SWR @New Braunfels)

Looks like a full VW installation (as opposed to VW/2).
Which gives enough thrust to fly well, but seems to be a bit
heavy for the little wing (per BK).

Bruce King flew his Hummel (full 1825 VW) to Sun-N-Fun and
to Oshkosh. I'd hale that as the most successful VW powered
project I know of.

King gave BK-1 a little larger wing for the same weight and
got a much better flying airplane for his effort.

Haven't seen Bruce in a while. Last time was at the Hondo
Christmas parade. On a tiny flatbed trailer, Bruce and BK-1
buzzed the crowd on Main St!

But absolutely NOBODY believed that little airplane could
really fly...
