Jim, and the other Jim, I just came from the EAA Museum site (www.airventuremuseum.org), they have a spec page and quite a few pictures of Rutans planes. I must correct a misstatement I made in my last post... The canard IS FIXED, with, as the web site states evelons, NOT a movable airfoil. As to scale models, it is true with other renditions of various planes, the "scale" vs Close to scale does not fly well. I was told that the forces involved do not necessarily porpotionize (my word) when the design is reduced to our size planes...... This one is a hoot, gitting braver every day.....Cliff
