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...!
