Default Three Surface Configurations
Greetings,

Does anyone have any views on and/or experience with three (lifting) surface designs - canard, wing, and stab - in in addition to what one can read in Andy Lennon's always useful book? (P'haps relevant, Lennon argues for and designs high wing loading planes while I prefer slow, wing loading designs, usually more or less parkflyer-ish.) I would appreciate to know which mistakes I do not have to repeat - I'm sure to make a lot anyway . Seems to have been a popular configuration before the Great War, and I'm rather partial to early flying boats.
