02/28/2008. George W. Meyer of Corpus Christi, Texas, designed and built the Little Toot, that was flown for the first time at Cuddihy Field on February 5, 1957, registered as N61G. Urged by friends, he set up Meyer Aircraft to market the plans for construction of the Little Toot by amateur constructors.

The prototype has a metal monocoque fuselage and metal tail surfaces with fabric covered wings, but the plans provide details for an alternative and easier method of construction utilizing a metal tube fuselage structure with plywood bulkheads, wood stringers and fabric covering. Since 1957, hundreds of plans have been sold and many have been built and approximately 30 are still flying.

Arlo E. Schroeder of Valley Center, Kansas, built the "Hawk Pshaw" in 1961. The original Little Toot had a 90 hp Lycoming, this one is fitted with an 85 hp Continental C85. It is still registered to Arlo as of this day. The paint scheme has resemblance with that worn on the Curtiss P-6E.
