    Have not seen something like that in a long time. I built one years ago (1990's) ,it was a slope plane....Only thing, just need to watch out for the canard on landings and high brush..
    I think there was a 3-5 degrees up the LE on the canard....Kool!! :doubleup:

    Looks like you are really close with this design and the hard bits are complete(the air frame/design) You could build it without tabs but they would be nice to have in there :)

    I started to go ahead and do the slots and tabs so everything would lock in place.
    But I thought about how much time it would take (me) to figure out all of the measuring,centering,erasing,where to put alignment tabs.
