Black Duck

Did you know the word Canard is French for duck?
Well, now you do.

I made another aircraft with the 'canard' wing in front.
The angle is 0.1% different to the main wing, giving the nose a little more lift, among other more technical things that it should do in certain situations, but 'SimplePlanes Physics' may not let it work the way it should.

AG1 turns the braking retros on/off.

Controls as per usual.

The back wheels start flying just before the front one does, so keep an eye on them during takeoff and punch the 'going up' switch as soon as they get airborne.

XML Stuff;

main engines for size, reduced power;
VTOL engine for power and AG1 activation (located under CoM)
air intakes for size;
cockpit for size;
wings for control surfaces;
fuel tank because fuel (also located near CoM)
