About engine thrust line. From the back of the plane the thrust line should be about 3 degrees UP.
The plane needs alot of roll out to get the canard into lift, don't rush the takeoff.
And, it will lose lift on landing sooner than a tractor as there is no prop wash.
The anti-stall of a canard is great if you are at altitude, sucks if you are landing.
Balance EMPTY, as with most planes, a little nose heavy at takeoff is fine as fuel is
consumed the Center of mass will shift rearwards.
Keep the speed up on final and grease it in.
I "load" my wheels by making the wheel collars bind a bit on the mains. then the "off-field" roll outs
are a little more infrequent.
