In the late 1980’s a friend of mine lived in (and his family owned) the remains of a small abandoned railroad depot town that had dwindled down to a a couple houses and a long closed gas station. In that gas station were racks of popular mechanics and a few other magazines of the same type, but one of them had the entire plans and step by step instructions on building a small wooden airplane powered by a Volkswagen engine. It would have probably been published between early/mid 1960’s - mid 1970’s. I had borrowed it to study it for a week or so, but that friend has passed away years ago and the collection is long lost to a corn field. I do not think it was the “volksplane”, any ideas on what it could have been?. Internet searches are coming up with to much background noise to be of any use.
