Default RE: Defiant Model 74 Flight problems

Canard planes and pushers need to have the gear set up so that the plane has a positive incidence compared to the runway.

Often people will correctly set up the C.G. and overlook this.

You may have everything right but with the wing canted down, the plane will not lift off.

Try adjusting the gear if the leading edge of the wing does not point up a bit.
