About 2/3rd down on this page, you will see a description of the Schneewittchen, German for "Snow White".. It is a flying wing motor glider that resembles a Horten wing, but much smaller size. It is designed to meet the German NTF-L standards, a bit more than the US part 103 standards, apparently.

This is a picture of the center section mockup:

And a 3-view

Although intended as an electric motor glider, I think it would be possible to use a small IC engine instead, maybe a half VW.
