Well I need help. I saw this airplane at AirVenture last week and I am wondering what it is. Heres what I can tell you about it...

It looked somewhat like a LSA airplane
It had tamdem seating or maybe it was a 1 seater.
The engine was in the rear like a rear engine on a Cessna 337
It had tricycle gear, not a taildragger
The nose wheel could fold back when it was parked on the ground
The rudder was built onto the wing tips like huge winglets.
Any guesses?
