RE: PROBLEM WITH GLIDE
How much weight would you guess that thing can lug around with grace, agility and pizzazz?
I would love to have anyone show me a truly outstanding flying 1/2A canard that isn't some "gollywock" looking creation. I'm talking about a flying machine that is worth the time it took to build.
BTW, the plane in that picture is a "looker" IMO. But unless it is really light, I'll bet it is all show and no go.
