Canards PAin In The Ass To Land? (was: Mechanics of Elevator Trim. In Detail.)

The rumours are that the canards are a PITA to land nicely. Apparently only to those who don't know how to fly one. They are different, but not a PITA. As the high performance planes have different characteristics than a trainer the canard is a bit different too. They land faster, but that is no big deal. Like a twin or even a Glasair III, you fly them on slightly nose high. Roger (K8RI) ARRL Life Member N833R (World's oldest Debonair) www.rogerhalstead.com
