Rutan Variviggen

Two-seat delta wing canard with a pusher propeller. The first prototype flew in June 1972. Further development of these ideas lead to a 'Mini-viggen', which in 1974-76 became the "Varieze", the most popular of Rutan's designs.

Hi Todd,My dad was a pilot and had an interest in this plane, which spilled over to me. How does this fly? The front wing moves obviously, but what about back? Any models anywhere?
