Default RE: forward swept/swing wings

Canards are tandem wings: both lift.
Then, the neutral point is somewhere between both wings.
CG must be forward of that point.

Elevator to be located in the front plane.
AOA of the front plane always bigger than the AOA of the main wing, so the front plane stalls first.

Use this on-line calculator, using the wing of the regular setup that is represented as the front plane or canard, and the stab as the wing of your model.
