Can you tow a glider trailer with it?

I don't think that canard is going to satisfy the low-speed collision
standards for auto bumpers.

Maybe just as well. I haven't seen anything to indicate that there are
accelerometers in the canard or elevator, so at least if the flying
surfaces crumple you'll have visual indication that your Transition got
thumped while you were in the supermarket.
