This plane started off as an attempt to make a fast, flat bottomed plane with a single engine. It worked quite well but the nose would always fall when left alone, so I started experimenting with different wing configurations. I never found one that I liked so I added a trim control:) I'm interested to see what y'all have to say and if there is an easier way. Enjoy!

Thanks! Can't believe I missed that.... There's a new version uploaded with those improvements:) @Stingray
Wings & powerful t-tail here are great! (Canards unnecessary on this model, that's your call). Set the inner (yellow) wing supports to semi-dihedral, add a bit of fuel near the nose, and it's very stable & fun to fly.
play around with making wings different types, like semi-symmetric or symmetric.
