The Parker Teenie Two is a single-seat, single-engine sport aircraft first built in the United States in 1969 and marketed for homebuilding.[1][2][3] It is a low-wing, cantilever monoplane of conventional configuration and fixed tricycle undercarriage.[2][3] The cockpit was designed to be left open, but plans for a canopy to enclose it were made available, the use of which would increase the top speed of the aircraft.[2] The Teenie Two was specifically designed to use a converted Volkswagen automobile engine for power.[2][3] The outer wing panels can be detached for transport or storage.[2]
It was featured on the cover of a Popular Mechanics magazine issue in May, 1971. The caption on the cover read, "Build a VW-Powered Plane for $750."[4]
The Teenie Two may be certified in the Experimental category in the US. A pilot certificate is required to fly it, as it is not considered an ultralight aircraft in the United States. The airplane does however meet the Light Sport Aircraft requirements as defined by the FAA
