R.S. "Bob" Hoover, aka Veeduber, has been dead over a decade, and I still miss him. I'm trying to collect all the files from the old Yahoo Groups Chuggers-alt Group that disappeared when Yahoo killed that business line. I've got a few of the original DeltaCad source files, and I have several copies of the now extinct DeltaCad application, but I'm wondering if anyone had the good sense to download the files from the group before it disappeared. If you did, direct message me, and we'll figure out a transfer.
The Chugger was a proposed single place VW powered parasol with a lot of Fly Baby DNA, a touch of Mini Max, some Junior Ace. Mostly wood, high-graded from Home Depot premium two by fours, with some 4130 tube and plate, and a couple of sheets of aircraft 1/8" ply for spar webs.

It's a single place, but it's a possible contender for the 21st century Volksplane, although it harkens back to the 1930's...
