Aeroneering Miller Lil Rascal - who's heard of it?

("Ruediger LANDMANN" wrote)
I came across a reference to the Aeroneering Miller Lil Rascal in Jane's
Encyclopedia of Aviation; which pretty much just says that it was a
biplane intended for building at home or in schools. I can't find any
other reference to this - does anyone here know anything more about it?

Here's a link. There's a bunch of Li'l planes listed

A guy at our airport is building a single seat Lockheed(?) Little Dipper
(with a Franklin engine). He's building it in the loft/office above Ion
Aircraft World Headquarters. We off-loaded the canopy mold from his pickup
truck, yesterday.

ACM/Franklin 2AL, later 40hp Continental A-40; span: 25'0" length: 17'7"

8/x/44 (p: Bud Martin). John Thorp. POP: 1 [NX18935] and 1 unfinished
prototype. Originally intended as a "flying motorcycle" for Army D-Day
ground troops, as the war drew to an end the focus shifted to a civil market
and its name became Little Dipper. However, the market never developed, and
the planes were scrapped."
