Finally got a brief period of wind to try out a pile of new stuff including V2 variants of the rotating Canards plus some wacky flexible trailing edges. The conclusion is Canards certainly seem to give large improvement in fin performance. However, still in question is whether rotating canards are better than fixed and whether canards allow you to run smaller fins. A small note on the last graph. I made all the graphs in Excel using the countif and average functions. I was using an ancient computer as it has one of the last clean versions of Excel that doesn't need this ridiculous online yearly license but decided to die whilst I was working on last graph so the scale and ledgend aren't as clear. Couldn't be bothered redoing it. If you are new to this Canard stuff its probably worth watching my previous video https://youtu.be/N8kFibgz3Ps
