Roger F. Peterson built the Bijou in 1974 merely as a research vehicle to check out his theories. The all-wood single-seater has ground-adjustable stabilisers and variable-control elevons on the trailing edges of the lower wing, and ground-adjustable stabilisers on the upper wing.
The side wing panels are to keep the air from washing out due to the short, 8 ft 9 in, wingspan, as well as to help directional stability.
Bijou is towable on its gear and is powered by a 40 hp German JLO snowmobile engine.
