For the Canard CG Calculator, use http://adamone.rchomepage.com/cg_canard.htm. It will give you a safe nose heavy condition. Once you are comfortable with the flying characteristics, you may want to move the CG back a little. Someone asked for this info in a PM. This is the reply. I currently fly a swept wing canard with an OS 46AX pusher engine and main wing mounted vertical stabs with two rudders. You can search for photos on RCUnivers, on the SPAD Forum, as Swept Wing Canard. It is a SPAD, made from Coroplast rather than balsa wood. Easy to build, tough as nails, no covering required, low cost.
