Hi SIREX,

There is a formula for calculating the CoG on a canard aircraft. If you don't have faith in the instructions regarding the distance from the leading edge for the CoG I would post in the aerodynamics thread and see if anyone has the formula.

If you don't have any luck please PM me and I will go through my collection of magazines and see if I can find the article on canards[X(]. You should see my filing system for such info (not).

Cheers,

Colin
