My father's modified Easy Riser ultralight.

This photograph isn't actually my father's ultralight, but it's somewhat similar to what he designed and built in the 1980s. He added an inverted V tail.
My father died last month, and one of the coolest memories I have of him is when he got an Easy Riser ultralight, which is foot launched, and modified it with an engine, wheels, and an inverted V tail. He also repositioned the control surfaces at the ends of the wings to be closer to aileron configuration.
I remember at least one photograph of him actually flying it, which has unfortunately been lost, but I paid so much attention to him creating it over the years that I could possibly do it justice as a 3D model. As a teenager in the 1980s, I was fascinated by his skills and ingenuity, and he gladly explained what he was doing.
It would be a tremendous tribute to him to fly it in RealFlight.
This is also not my father, but the airplane is somewhat similar to what he made:
