Default RE: Setting incidence for my scratch canard

Twins get a lot of their performance from having much larger combined areas from two less powerful props. You're losing that right off the bat. If you need twins for any reason, you need the area their prop blades sweep for them to be an improvement over a single engine. You'd probably get better performance out of two engines that normally swing 7" three bladers.
I'll talk to the owner of the hobby shop that told me that it would be OK........ He's built a lot of planes.
