RE: Will this work?
It doesn't look like it will be directionally stable with that long nose. The canard surface area is very small compared to the main wings, this will put the CG somewhere around the leading edge of the main wings... just eyeballing the side area ahead of that point compared to the side area behind it looks like it'll do nice flat spins, and tailslides... but probably won't fly straight (foreward) for very long. If you have X-planes you can model it very quickly and get a good idea if it'll fly or not.. if you don't have x-planes try to find someone that does, or find out if someone has already modeled it.
