Bill Barber of Dacre in Southland, New Zealand, started off with the Snark HA 1 which was a single seater.

Barber Snark HA 1 ZK-FOU (c/n MAANZ 409) was first registered to Bill Barber on 11/8/87.  It was built of Kevlar foam sandwich construction with carbon fibre spars and full flaperons.  It had a Rotax 503 engine driving a 3 bladed propellor through an 8 foot long driveshaft.  

 

Barber flew the Snark HA 1 twice, for two short hops, and on reflection thinks it was a good aircraft.  However, development problems caused him to go on to design and build his two seater Snarks.
