Default RE: canards v. forplane

A lot of things can be made to fly, but that's not a good "canard" design.

A properly set up canard aircraft will have a wider CG range than the equivalent "normal" plane. That's one of the advantages of the type.

The above mentioned control line canard aircraft is an example. The lousy "turn radius" mentioned indicates a lack of canard elevator authority.
