Man, I must have built 10 planes over the past 20 years that, when completed and flown, I had the exact same thought: Well, it sure seemed like a good idea at the time.

Just looking through this post today and noticed I had not answered a question its a puller canard. I hope I did not throw it away after I crashed it, going to check the attic. Here is a picture of my pusher canard I had to add so much nose weight it would’t fly, so I stuck a 15 on the front and it did not fly any better.
All I can say is it seemed like a good idea at the time!
Tandem Canard, around 700 sq-in total, OS 35. Flew very stable, did nice rounds, soft squares and don't even think about-it triangles! Lead-out guide forced wing to twist making for some VERY intersting turn and roll coupling!
It actually migt be possible to make it work, but frankly it makes you want to build a green box Nobler...!
Leo,
You don't need to do something really different. You ARE something really different.
I guess I know when i'm whuppedddded!
HEY LEO...RANDY!!!!!!!!! GUESS WE ALL RESEMBLE THAT REMARK? LL~ LL~
Here's one I've drawn up, but haven't built yet. I'm waiting until I learn more about electric power. I believe this will be what works best with this type of twin.I like it John. I have tried differnt designs but its a lot of work adding up to a lot of dissapointment. Not sorry I tried them but basically decided to not try stuff to radical. IO think yours will work. Besides I know you like two engines running at once. Kool Maaaaan. H^^ H^^ H^^ H^^ H^^ H^^ HB~>
I sent out about 6 sets of plans for the Jumbo. Is yours the old MAN Jumbo with the McCoy .60 shown on the plans??
Willis..I like!!..is it a pusher or a puller?..cheers, Hoosier Daddy y1Evidently it's a cutter! LL~ LL~ LL~ LL~ LL~ LL~ LL~ LL~ LL~ HB~>
