Default RE: canard foreplane loading..??

Here's another drawing if you want to calculate on it. The grid is 100mm. The CG is shown on the side view at the leading edge of the wing. It has a full flying canard, leading edge slats and flaperons - the last two features couldn't be used because I would run out of elevator to match the additional wing lift. This model was much too heavy (the wing complications and retracts didn't help) and, after a few flights, found its rightful place as a hanger queen.
