I put an EZ 46 together, and you are all correct, the plans are not much use.

CG was no problem with an empty fuel tank, I have not gotten enough experience to second guess the mfg.

The first time I flew the bird, it flew great, towards the end of the flight, I got a little cocky, and tested the stall tactics of the plane, only problem is that I was only about 15 feet off the ground, and you guessed it, nosed in.

Repaird, and went to fly again, this time, I must have changed radio setting or something, had too much control surface, and the bird got real squarelly on me and nosed in real good.

I ordered new nose cone and weight, pulled the canard apart, and am getting ready to put it back together. Sure would like to have a set of plans for correct length of the nose, etc.

Love the plane, but it is a challenge.
