Default Rear Mounted Engines, how does it work?

As I had alot of spare time the other day my mind started wondering into the realm that I'm sure we all escape to in our free time, that of RC airplane. And I started wondering about the pusher type aircraft. Is there a special type of setup that you need to have the engine facing rearwards? And what type of effect would a pusher have on the airplane, if any, if the engine was located between the twin booms of the tail plane? if the air stream? (for lack of a better word) running over elevators make the plane more responsive in that regard?

just wondering
