Hello,
for quite some time I've been wondering if I don't get the concept of center of lift... As far as I know a plane ist balanced if the center of lift and the center of gravity match. Ideally the COL should be placed behind the COG for the plane to be inherently stable but here's the problem:
Eyerytime I start building a plane with a tailplane that consists of canards the COL is extremely far behind COG even if I add fairly big main wings. It seems to me as if the lift rating of the canards was way too high for their size. Am I misunderstanding something here or does anybody else draw the same conclusions ?
I appreciate every helpful answer.
