variants with their own articles=The Flaglor Scooter was an unusual light aircraft designed in the United States in the mid 1960s and marketed for homebuilding. It was a high-wing, wire-braced monoplane with the engine installed on the wing leading edge, above and in front of the pilot's seat. It was originally intended to be powered by a Cushman golf buggy engine, this was found to be inadequate and a converted Volkswagen automotive engine was used to replace it. Demonstrated at the 1967 EAA annual fly-in at Rockford, Illinois, the design won "Outstanding Ultralight" and "Outstanding Volkswagen-powered aircraft" awards. Plans were put on sale shortly thereafter.
