Terry and Joe,

My jet does have a higher landing speed because of my setup. I originally started out with lower throws on my canards, but have increased them to get a better angle of attach on landing. There is a point in the flare over the runway where the stick does "give up" and the jet settles on the mains. If I had the additional surface area of my alerions as part of the elevators (elevons) I'm sure I'd have really slow landings. I do have a long runnway to fly off of so its not that big of a deal with my current setup. Also, the canards play a big part on the landings, so I wouldn't try to setup my rookie like I have it now without them.
