Well, I've looked into canards, and as a previous
poster pointed out, modern canards sacrafice a bit of efficiency over trailing tailbooms. So if this is out, canting engines to the side, or down, seems a good choice. Doing this with a single engine is awkward. So perhaps the engine right out the tail? Hmmm....

Look at Max Barel's "Graal" experimental glider in France. http://perso.wanadoo.fr/max.barel/Graal/overview.html Seems to work rather well.
