I saw this challenge thinking "I'll build the Wright Flyer! That would be cool, and it technically uses canards!" Well, this is NOT the Wright Flyer. It is similar, but the real one was about 1/5 the weight and had 1/20 the horsepower.
It doesn't fly very straight, but it does fly!
Controls are standard, AG1 around 60mph to release from the sled.

@RadarJamJar @poopatron71 thanks guys!
@Sarpanitu First off, thanks, I'm glad you enjoyed it! Secondly, I was actually thinking of adding a second joystick next to the throttle to control yaw, but I decided to play it off as some invisible foot-controlled mechanism instead, haha.
