I am surprised that there are almost no new canard designs out there competing in the LSA/light experimental/European microlight markets. Since the vast majority of designs out there are very conventional low-wing or high-wing designs, a canard would really stand out and attract those looking for something different.

I know of the French Junqua IBIS, a wood-and-fabric design, but I have seen few completed on my trips to Europe. I also know of a few one-off projects, but nothing else for which kits or plans are available.

Does anyone know of any newer canard designs, especially on the light end of the spectrum?

Cheers,

Matthew
