Hi stearman70
I flew a Canard of my own design for about 7 years and loved it. Here is one thing I learned about Canards. During a landing, if you see the nose hitting hard, or otherwise see a problem during the landing, immediately go to full down elevator and hold that until the plane stops. If you do not do that, the nose will bounce up and the plane stalls and crashes. It took me a long time to realize that. Remember that on a Canard, down elevator moves the elevator UP, and since the elevator is at the front of the plane, down elevator drives the nose down, keeping it on the ground. I have never seen that advice given elsewhere. Me gusta Mexico!
