The canard needs to be 3 degrees positive incidence compared to the wing. You never, never want the wing to stall before the canard. This would be a disaster, a tail first drop.

Normally, on a pusher canard, there isn't much airflow over the canard tail, so you need a lot of travel. With this plane in the tractor configuration, you can blow the canard and nose off the ground with prop blast before the wing has flying speed. I did this on our first tractor canard. The plane flips like a 3D plane, then crashes. Plan on a long take off run and be gentle on the up control until you know the characteristics of the plane.
