Kangaroo Canards help needed
 

I have a F/C Kangaroo and the canards from Mr. Paul Hopkins.

The questions are:

Placement of the Canards/Shaft?

Angle of incidence?

Amount of rotation?

Servo torque requirements?

Question ?,why put canards on your Kangaroo.Dont they fly good the way they are.

RE: Kangaroo Canards help needed
 

i myself thought about putting canards on my kangaroo too, i guess the only reason to install canards would be so that you can install flaps, but at this time i will leave it stock, but i would be interested in how they work

let us know how they work for you

Please do it!! I have been wanting to do it every since I first flew my Kangaroo. If you can tell me where to get them, I'll build mine at the same time and we can compare notes! The kangaroo will be able to do a lot of High Alpha stuff with them I am sure.

Can someone supply more info on the canards for the 'Roo? Price, availability? Are they still made? Seems like a fine idea. Perhaps you can get rid of some of the at rest, on gear AOA, and have enough pitch moment for good takeoffs and better landings with better pitch control. Plus, the ones I found in the search actually look pretty good.

The Roo is just a Delta Wing uses a lot of elevator in the turns and it has a bit of reflex in level flight. The canards will reduce the amount of reflex and elevator needed. They will be most helpful when landing reducing the "Kangaroo hop"
