A 165 lb plane capable of 400 lb. gross 500 mile range Just over $10k to build Twin engine 135 mph 15,000' ceiling I've seen one or two at Oshkosh several times but I thought it was called "Cri Cri".

If I remember correctly, the designer of the Cri Cri did not want the plans sold in the US. I don’t remember if this was for liability reasons or he just didn’t like the US.
The Cri Cri is aerobatic, and there were some neat videos of a guy doing mostly gentlemen maneuvers.

It is true; I've a friend who bought a set of plans, but had to buy them with a Canadian address (easily done for him); I am led to understand that there may have been a plaintiffs' suit against the designer, but I have no personal knowledge. Would not surprise me.

Worlds smallest depends on what one is measuring. The Starr Bumblebee II has half the wing span and 2/3rds of the length of the Cri Cri. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Starr_Bumble_Bee_II
