North Korean KARI "FireFly"
The Firefly was a very unique "Velocity" (I use the past tense, because I believe it has been destroyed), built by KARI as a design study out of several kits. It was featured in this Velocity Views article. This is also the aircraft that Gus McLeod used to try and fly non-stop to the south pole and back in association with Florida Atlantic University. For that flight the airplane was heavily modified with assistance from the factory, with long-range fuel tanks, etc.
