RE: canards v. forplane

Greetings!

Have anyone tested TurnKeyRC's XP-55 (http://www.turnkeyrc.com/), Chris Golds' Shinden or Stengele's Lockspeiser LDA-1? I'm contemplating designing a canard - probably a freelance could be stand way off scale transport style plane - and I would like to make it as small as possible, but not smaller. I've read Andy Lennon (and Martin Simons, Stinton, ...) a few times so I have some idea about what to do and not to do

You are absolutely right - that is why my f[ree]f[light] canard has the foreplane at +7* and the wing a 0*

I guess that free flight canards can get away with having a almost stalled canard - no fiddling with the controls during flight

.

Soft landings.
