Default RE: canard pusher config

That Trimotor looks awesome! How did it fly? I could swear I saw some of those planes in RCM or MAN as construction articles. Are they your designs and are they published?

Mick, If you don’t mind looking at me as I age, here are the images of the canards I built. The first three were set up 0-0-0 and they all required an eight of an inch up trim. The fourth one had two degrees of up incidence in the canard and it required no trim. The last one has two degrees of up trim in the canard and requires an eight of inch down trim. All the engines have no thrust angle built in.

Here’s a good website to help with the cg. I find it very accurate.
