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

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.

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.

it is probably a Quickie Q2 with a mod for a non typical engine.

I'm told that you can pick the quickie aircraft from the dragonfly by
looking at the underside of the aft fuselage.
the quickies are curved and the dragonflys are straight.
