Hey Marc,
I have a canard that is right at 12 foot long. I was not aware that there were different lengths. The engine is an IO-235-EXP that is what it says on the tag. The engine alone will make it 50 LBS heavy. I have a scale just like the one Burt used on the video, but it is in a storage building and need to find time to go and get it. I want to learn all I can about these planes, and read all I can about them.
Back in 1997 I believe, I went to an all canard fly-in at Butler MO I was fascinated.
Thanks,
Doug Coffman
