canard

Decided to build a large aircraft that could fit into the car. It ended up being 51" by 42 inches and quite flexible. Still have it in the boneyard and take it out to the club field once or twice a year(calm day so it can do a loop) and the guys get a laugh at its ability. A pleasure to fly.

Almost anything will fly, so I decided to build the LARGEST CANARD that would fit in my Scion. I calculated the CG, but it was trial and error for awhile. It totally flops around in the sky as well as can do a loop(needs to fly into the wind). Still sits in the boneyard after all the years...

So my first introduction to RC airplanes many, many years ago was the so called "Thunderjet" by Silverlit. (Those not familiar, most silverlit airplanes are two channel, twin engined, thurst vectoring toys with brushed motors) It provided me many hours of fun, and to my surprise, it even flew...

So, with winter break almost upon me, and with a lengthened design cut off date, I'm going to be adding an additional aircraft to this challenged. It classifies under the fantasy moniker as it was drawn up but never built in any capacity. One of the things I learned with last years challenge, is...

Is there a simple way to find the CG for a canard type design (think Ainsley Peace Drone) I read a comment that said halfway between the centre points for the front and rear wings? ???

Here is a test flight video of a new swappable design that I've been working on, called "Blackwing". I used SPONZ's Bloody Wonder mk3 fuselage and wing design (with some small modifications) and designed a new tail and canard. Enjoy! https://youtu.be/3akYgRvUbzI

Hello Friends. I've been working on a new project. I think I've stumbled on to one of those happy accidents. She's a Forward swept pusher with canards. I built her from DTFB in Flitetest Fashion. I'm sure you could adapt the plans to your building techniques. I used a Sunny Sky X2212-9 1400KV...

I'm brand new to RC flying but have loved the Canard aircraft for years. I would love to see a Canard that could be used as a trainer with fixed Canard wing and a large battery payload for long flights, then, later upgraded to use a movable/working Canard wing.
