I looked at a lot of sites and even bought a book by Bill Gunston about the X-29. Found a lot of good pics and learned some things but in all the pics I never found any that indicated where the CG was. I know the full scale X had some stability issues, but that challenge makes it more fun.

The first one will be a pusher for simplicity, with either a 400 or 540 size motor depending on how big I make it. The canards will be functional but main pitch control will be from the strake flaps near the exhaust cone. The strake flaps will have alot of travel but the canards will will be adjusted for alot less travel. That should help a little with pitch stability. I also thought about adding a micro gyro on the elevator servo.
What would happen if the canard was mounted slightly higher?
