The Speed Canard is a fantastic travel machine :
it flies at 155 kts, using at this speed ( with a correct lean ) 25 to 28 liters per hour, fully loaded, i.e. with pilot and passenger, full of fuel ( 160 liter of which 155 liters useable ) , and a small lugagge under the rear seat.
Bagagges must indeed be shipped.
As an example, I am used to fly from Brussels to the south of France ( la Mole or Aix en Provence ) in 3h15.
The aircraft could reasonnably fly about 5h00 to 5h30 i.e. 775 to 800 NM....
This means a big distance....a becomes a limit for the pilot, not for the machine...
Todd : do you have the Speed Canard Pilot's handbook ? If not, I can make a copy of mine for you.
