I'm now a total believer in Burt Rutan's design abilities. I've recreated two of his iconic designs and wow. this one fantastic. Great flying airplane in every way. Very minor adjustments needed to make it fly great without the use of an active canard. Its an easy to print/build and cheap to put together.
