Auto Credit Based on FarrowTECH's Canard Aircraft Challenge (closed, but feel free to keep adding more builds for fun)
Made for @FarrowTECH ‘s Canard Aircraft challenge: https://www.simpleplanes.com/a/rOkP3j/Canard-Aircraft-Challenge
I decided the best way to solve the inherent stabiliy issues that canard planes have was just to add another wing! This plane ended up very stable and manuverable as a result.
Standard plane controls.
Use trim as needed (not much at subsonic).
VTOL for supersonic engine (or short takeoff).
