I am in the process of building a forward swept wing canard. It is called  FIREBOLT it was in the AMA mag way back in84. I built one about 25 years ago and it flew great. Any way i'm building another one now. It should be ready in a few more weeks.
I have also built many many canards of my own design. Some flew good and some not so good. I use the TLAR method of building ( that looks about right}
Years ago i flew with the BAMA FLYERS show team i had 2 canards doing the stars war act 1 was a x-wing sort of like the x-wing fighter and the other was DARTH VADER in a solid black canard. It was a lot of fun
Any way if i can help let me know
