Jim, which way does the canard move, with the flaps or the elevator?

Most airplane design I've done has been on commercial transport airplanes. For the last ten years, I've been figuring out how to do airplane systems trade studies and teaching other folks how to do them. I designed some combat models, some of which were good, and some of which were silly. For stunt, I fly an Impact.

Hi Matt,

The canard trailing edge moves with the flaps so the lift is imparted to the nose of the aircraft.

OK, confession time. I designed my first airplane when I was 13. A free flight powered by a WenMac .049. Right there you know I had my head in the clouds or elswhere. But hey, it's all I had not mounted.

I've designed close to 15 stunters, but I haven't built any of them yet.
