Allen!

Nice to know the creator of that model is on RCU. I was fascinated with it when the article first appeared, and especially happy to see that you bothered to make it look like an actual aircraft, and not just another box. Very cool. Are you still flying it. (Sorry for hijacking this thread... Just wanted to say "Great work", to Allen.)

On the flap issue...
Andy Lennon's book (available through MAN) "The Basics of RC Model Aircraft Design" has some good information on canard arrangements, including canard aircraft with flaps. His math is trustworthy. The book is at http://www.rcstore.com/rs/general/li...id=8&catego=BO
