P-51 style should look pretty cool with a bent canard...And no I don't
have any drawings, hell all I got is a wing.

Well Todd, we have the bend canard too :) now all I have to figure out is..what the heck is a P-51 type scoop with boundary layer air bleed? Does anyone have some good pictures, formulas, data etc for configuring these things?

Surely you have seen pictures of a P51 Chrissi?
Don't copy the duct however. It is wrong! You will need an opening
at least 20% of the rad area and a very large opening at
the rear of the airplane to let the air out. Twice the inlet area
at least.

I would guess the boundary layer to be at least an inch
thick at the back of a canard. What say you Al Gietzen?
