Default What type is this tandem plane? It's not Tandem

Seen in the Technik-Museum in Speyer, Germany. Searching for the
registration D-EAAQ turns up Cessna 172 and Klemm L35, so that can't
be it. There's the logo of the Air Power 09 Steiermark on both sides;
their site doesn't show anything about this plane.

It's very similar to the Rutan Quickie, but the main gear arrangement
is different. I'm sure it's an experimental, though.

Tandem? it's a side-by-side. Tandem refers to a front-back seating
arrangement. It looks like a Dragonfly for sure, and those were all
side-by-side.


It's a tandem wing configuration design, which is what I understood the
OP to refer to.

Tandem can refer to more than seating configuration, including things
like tandem landing gear, like the B-52's dual tandem gear (with
outriggers).
