Avio-Conard, Going Strong!!
You never really know where to stick a Thread, so I guess this is as good a place to stick it as any.
With that said, as you can see, I've really progressed with my scratch built project! Foam cores cut and sheeted among with the stab which will get cut to become the elevator also. Cockpit area taking shape. etc., etc.
Now here's the thing and my "goal" with this Thread.
Everything you see in these photos weighs 3.45 lbs. Certainly I cannot make any comparisons with other airframes, without other information on other similar airframes.
So, what I would like to see, and I'll bet, I'm not alone, would be Posted information about your model. No, nothing vague, we get enough of that, actually too much.
So, with that said here's the specks on my Jet.
Wingspan, 48"
Length, 56"
Weight at the moment, 3.45 lbs.
Power, TBD, (to be decided) which, BTW, can be determined with information derived from this Thread. OK, Ya get it!
Information!! Those with it have POWER. I just would like a nice list of what is going on with your model?
Thanks,
Charles
Oh, some recent photos.

RE: Avio-Conard, Going Strong!!
Hello world,
Please do not say "Conard" but "Canard".
"Conard" means "stupid b a s t a r d"
"Canard" is the french word for "duck" and also the name used for the small front wing in a aircraft (Rutan VariEze, Rafale, Eurofighter, etc...).
Regards,
Alain

Well, maybe not a real conard, but I have a since of humor.
What did you think of the US? What did you see. Hobby shop?
You did go back?

Charles,
I also have a sense of humour.
I am very sorry for the misunderstanding but I just wanted to focus you on the French translation for "conard".
Have a lot of fun with your "Avio-canard".

Alain
