My contribution to the 'Canard Craze' that seems to be happening.
Despite what the name is, this does fly.
No special controls, just an aircraft that has a canard at the pointy end.
Controls as per usual.
Tends to be a bit bouncy on take off, so watch for the nose to rise, if you like to go hands off and pull the stick back.
No swept forward wing on this one, they have their own special problems. lol

The tiny jets near the tail are there pretending to be exhausts.
They do not actually do anything except look good and add a little detail to the plane that I have never done before.
Anyone know if there is a way to 'switch off' the sound on those?
