In the Movie, The Gods Must Be Crazy 2, there was a tiny twin engine
ultra light airplane that stole my heart.  Who made that airplane
(manufacturer)and how can I get a hold of that company.

Several posts in newsgroups say that the plane was a modified Lazair II:

If this is a satisfactory answer, I'll be glad to gather some info for
you on the Lazair II.

Allow me a couple of weeks to verify this answer.  I don't believe it
is Lazair Elite but I will not discount the answer yet.  Let me review
the movie to assertane a bit more.  Thanks.

A post on the Internet Movie Database forum for "The Gods Must Be
Crazy II" says that the plane was custom-made for the movie:

"I happened to be looking up about Lena Farugia (who played Dr. Ann
Taylor) in the movie as she is a friend of mine. Anyway, I saw your
question and must tell you that I do know the aeroplane was actually
custom-made for the movie by the film studios. In fact, it now hangs
in the ceiling of a restaurant (owned by the company) in Bloemfontein,
South Africa."

The "flying" airplane is a customization of an original factory 2-seat
Lazair II aircraft made by Ultraflight of Port. Colbourne, Canada
(Lazairs are no longer being produced). In the movie they used a real
flying plane, a mock-up of the fuselage, and a flying RC model.
