The Scooter was originally powered by a Cushman golf cart engine, which was ultimately replaced by a 1,500 cc VW engine rated at 40 hp. At the 1967 EAA meet, this tiny high-wing, enclosed-cabin taildragger received both "Outstanding Ultralight" and "Outstanding Volkswagen Powered" awards. Construction is of wood with a plywood covering, except for the aft section of the fuselage, which is fabric-covered. The VW engine is mounted over the cabin and turns a two-blade propeller. The Scooter is now marketed by Rotor Wings & Flying Machines.
