i agree that it could be a glider, too. the canard design is for a glider not for powered flight. i think that dennis hit it on the nose, though... getting the CG right will be the most important thing if you want to have any kind of "flight". otherwise, i know what you guys are talking about. any kind of additional lift would help carry the car further so as long as the lift surfaces are in the right places, any additional wing would help! and since it doesn't have to "float" in for landing (in fact smashing down is what the car is built for) high wing loading isn't detrimental... at worst it's just a ballistic missle with stubby wings! :-)
