Hummel Bird

The Hummel Bird is an Experimental/Amateur Built aircraft designed by Morry Hummel. It is a single seat, single engine, all metal airplane typically powered by a 1/2 VW engine in the 32 hp-45 hp range although other engines have been used successfully. It is built from plans, but many of the components are available pre-made from Hummel Aviation. Examples have been built for less than $4,000 with extensive "scrounging" but with all new material and a pre-built engine, a more likely figure would hover near $8,000-$10,000.
