Default civilian canard kits?

Does anyone know of a scale kit for a civilian type canard. I think I remember seeing one in the tower catalog years ago, but a search on their site come up with nothing. Thanks!

You did not specify what size of plane you are looking for. Fusco Aircraft has a 1/5 scale Long E-Z with 62" span for .45 engine. Web site is www.fuscoaircraft.com/

yup found that site tonight.. Can someone tell me if the wing is 1 or 2 piece. How rugged is the retract (is mowed grass ok with it), what kind of 4 stroke works well with this plane. Are the wheel pants fiberglass?

This looks like a great winter project....

Default Fusco Long EZ

The wing is one piece. Retact is suitable for grass fields. I think the pants are available either as vac formed plastic or glass. Think they give you an option.

Good kit and a real looker on the flight line too.

The Fusco EZ flys great too. They are coming out with a big one soon too. I have the 1/5th, also have a full scale. Will have the big one when it comes out. You will like it. Make sure you get plenty of air flowing over the engine for cooling. It is awsome in the air. Looks just like the real one.
