I wanted to get some thoughts on the horizontal stabilizer from the design above. The CG is close to the midpoint of the two middle black dots. The front canard is fixed but I am thinking about having it electrically adjustable to allow for a wider CG limit range. My main concern is the overlap of the HS and the wing. The distance between the two is about 24". This is mostly just a mock up so it is not totally to scale and I am going to change the fuselage.
