jmupilot...I have been reading your reports on your canard. I fly the canard shown at the left. You asked about trim changes at different conditions. On mine I found that adding some nose weight reduced the tendancy to require trim changes at different conditions. Since I designed mine I had to make many CG changes to settle on a location. My canard seems to have a broad range of CG location, but becomes more steady in pitch with a little extra nose weight. Does your model have rudders at the wing tips? Mine does and can knife edge all day long. Even does a knife edge loop. Yours is a very good looking plane. Mine is a SPAD type plane and I describe it in the S.P.A.D. Forum. I look forward to reading more flight reports from you.
