2. Use a canard. Has anyone ever made a glider with
a canard for control before? I'm guessing maybe not
since there are some obvious disadvantages in a glider
(landouts, aerotow, turbulence caused by a canard)...


Yep, Burt Rutan. The Solitaire. Good designer, but this effort was not
covered with glory. Gliders need to fly right at the edge of a stall.
