Well said Randy. Back in 1966, I drew up a set of plans for a Stunter. I was obsessed with the idea of a canard after reading an article in one of the model mags a few years before extolling the authors ideas of the benefits for stunt from that configuration. I remember seeing that velum in my stuff, about 10 years ago.
It was a take off, appearance wise of the RB-70, without, of course, the delta wing configuration. It used a pusher engine, trike gear, etc.
I was not too knowledgeable about canards at the time, so it would have been a test of skills to get the CG, and the leadouts correctly placed, but it looked neat.
I showed the plans to a few of my buddies back in the late 60's. If I ever find them again, and they remember the plans I may redo the plans and actually build the plane for Classic. I'm sure the dated plans are around here somewhere
Sounds like yours is a better candidate, as you actually built it and flew it back in the day. Ain't this all just too much fun?
